The first daughter is for the Throne. The second daughter is for the Wolf. As the only Second Daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose - to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in the hope he' ll return the world' s captured gods. Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can' t control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can' t hurt those she loves. Again. But the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster. Her magic is a calling, not a curse. And if she doesn' t learn how to use it, the monsters the gods have become will swallow the Wilderwood - and her world - whole. ' I loved it!

I loved it! I was completely swept away by the world-building, the characters, and the delicate gorgeousness of the writing! A brilliant dark fantasy debut -- Jodi Picoult Drenched in atmosphere, with sharp and biting prose, Whitten' s For the Wolf is a glorious journey through woods deep and so very dark. A stunning debut -- Erin Craig, author of HOUSE OF SALT AND SORROWS A dark, dazzling reimagining of ' Little Red Riding Hood' . . . Whitten lovingly weaves in elements from other fairy tales, including ' Beauty and the Beast' and ' Snow White' , while crafting a story that is all her own. With clever, immersive prose and a subtle touch of horror, this is sure to enchant -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) Atmospheric, folkloric and half-familiar. If you ever wished Beauty and the Beast had more eldritch forest monsters and political machinations, this is the romance for you -- Alix E. Harrow, author of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY This hauntingly beautiful, fractured retelling of Little Red Riding Hood is dark, emotional and filled with tense action. Whitten' s debut is epic and enthralling -- LIBRARY JOURNAL An un-put-down-able fairy tale that traces the boundaries of duty, love, and loss. A masterful debut from a must-read new voice in fantasy -- KIRKUS (starred review)
