What if every fairy tale was real... and every one of them was slowly falling apart?
When forty-five-year-old Francesca Holloway discovers a hidden room beneath an old bookshop, she finds an ancient book unlike anything she has ever seen. Its pages refuse to stay blank. Its illustrations move. And before she can escape, the story reaches out and pulls her inside.
She awakens in the Red Woods.
There, Little Red Riding Hood is no longer a tale but a living world trapped in an endless cycle. The Wolf remembers dying thousands of times. Grandmother guards secrets older than the forest itself. The Huntsman is beginning to remember a past that should no longer exist. Worst of all, the stories themselves are changing.
Pages are disappearing.
Memories are fading.
Characters are forgetting who they are.
As the boundaries between fairy tales begin to collapse, Francesca discovers that someone has been rewriting the stories from the shadows. Every missing page brings the worlds closer to unraveling, and buried at the heart of them all lies a mystery known only as The Storykeeper.
To find a way home, Francesca must uncover the truth before every story ever told is rewritten forever.
The Red Woods is the spellbinding first novel in The Story Keeper series-a sweeping fantasy adventure filled with dark fairy tales, unforgettable characters, ancient mysteries, and a world where every ending can be changed.
Perfect for readers who love The Book of Lost Things, Once Upon a Time, Nettle & Bone, The Hazel Wood, and richly imagined fantasy where familiar legends hide extraordinary secrets.
