Powerful and compelling, this high-stakes, feminist
reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood is perfect for fans of Stephanie
Garber and Meagan Spooner.
For as long as sixteen-year-old Adele can remember, the
village of Oakvale has been surrounded by the dark wood--a forest filled with
terrible monsters. A forest that light itself cannot penetrate.
Unlike her fellow villagers, Adele cannot avoid the dark
wood.
Adele is one of a long line of guardians: women who secretly
take on the form of a wolf, in order to protect their village.
But when accepting her fate means giving up the boy she
loves, abandoning the future she imagined for herself, and breaking her own
moral code, she must decide how far she is willing to go to keep her neighbors
safe.
