The godly men warned her about the wolf. They never warned her about the woodsman.
New Canaan, Massachusetts, 1631.
Nineteen-year-old Rosamund Harlow has always been too much for her Puritan settlement. Too dark. Too beautiful. Too unwilling to hide beneath the colorless obedience expected of a godly woman.
Her red shawl is the final offense.
When the minister turns an entire sermon against her, Rosamund's father sends her into the forest to wait out the village's suspicion with the grandmother everyone whispers is a witch.
But the cottage is empty.
Her grandmother has vanished. The hearth is cold. And something enormous is watching Rosamund from among the trees.
The black wolf should terrify her. Instead, he listens when she speaks. He retreats when she refuses him. And when he takes the form of a man, Rosamund discovers a creature more tender-and more fiercely devoted-than anyone she has known in the Christian world.
The woodsman is another matter.
Ezra Crane knows what lives in the forest. He knows the wolf has chosen Rosamund. And beneath his scripture, his traps, and his claims of righteous protection lies a hunger far more monstrous than anything stalking the wilderness.
When Ezra decides to cleanse Rosamund of the wolf's influence, he carries her into a cabin filled with the remains of women who were never saved.
But the wolf knows where his mate has been taken.
And this time, the woodsman will not survive the tale.
Little Red Blood Meridian is an explicit dark historical retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, featuring a Puritan outcast heroine, a protective black wolf shifter, primal mating, knotting, a murderous woodsman, bloody revenge, and a feral HEA.
