On a journey north to visit her ailing grandmother, Elanore Redley encounters the reclusive Count Wolfram while fleeing a monstrous pursuer.

As the mysterious Wolfram draws her into his magic-filled world, her childhood friend Edmund must come to terms with his own feelings towards Elanore and his identity as a hunter.

While the world slips into darkness and the threat of monsters looms, Wolfram struggles against a fate that would force him to live out a famous but decidedly unpleasant fairy tale.

“Red Riding Hood” is an introductory book to “Tales of the Big Bad Wolf” — an epic fairy tale world, full of romance, mystery, and self-discovery.

The sequel continues in Volume 2, “The Queen of Swans.”
