It’s not… You can’t… In vain did I make predictions, because I ended up being astonishingly wrong. For sure, some elements here and there could be compared to that classic story, but, like Cruel Beauty, this novel took unexpected turns. Unlike I first imagined, this was no retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. You’ll meet him yourself someday.’’Ĭrimson Bound was a mesmerizing read. ‘‘The breath in our mouths and the hunger in our hearts,’’ said the forestborn. ‘‘Tell me about the Devourer,’’ she said. (This is a standalone novel, not part of the Cruel Beauty Universe.) Inspired by the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Crimson Bound is an exhilarating tale of darkness, love, and redemption. In a palace built on unbelievable wealth and dangerous secrets, can Rachelle discover the truth and stop the fall of endless night? As the two become unexpected allies, they uncover far-reaching conspiracies, hidden magic, and a love that may be their undoing. When the king orders her to guard his son Armand-the man she hates most-Rachelle forces Armand to help her find the legendary sword that might save their world. Three years later, Rachelle has given her life to serving the realm, fighting deadly creatures in an effort to atone.
After an illicit meeting goes dreadfully wrong, Rachelle is forced to make a terrible choice that binds her to the very evil she had hoped to defeat. But she was also reckless- straying from the forest path in search of a way to free her world from the threat of eternal darkness. When Rachelle was fifteen she was good-apprenticed to her aunt and in training to protect her village from dark magic. Genres & Themes: Young Adult, Fantasy, FairyTales, Dark, Romance
