The Crimson Saga: Book One The Red Cloak

By J.E. Harlow

On the night the wolves came to Cinderhearth, seventeen-year-old blacksmith Crimson Merrow lost the boy she was going to marry, and her tears stopped. Wrapped in a fallen god's rust-red cloak and carrying a staff that burns white, she walks into the Greywood to reach her grandmother before the wolves do. The road takes her past burned villages and through a thief's snare. She finds an old forester with one good axe, a dwarf who can sing walls down, and a twelve-year-old archer who never stops talking. At the end of it is a mountain where the Wolf-King waits, kind, patient, and more dangerous than any fang. Something sleeps in Crimson's chest that a thing in black has hunted for a thousand years. When she finally stands at her grandmother's door, she will have to choose between vengeance and mercy, and discover what walks through the door that mercy opens. Little Red Riding Hood, reforged as an epic: grief, fury, wolves, and a heroine who would rather be at her anvil.
