Ruelle and the Wolf's Curse: A Red Riding Hood Retelling

A Dark Fantasy Retelling of Red Riding Hood
It lies there in wait—and in vain—this half-human, half-wolf. Cursed with a thousand kills, he became a beast of blood and hunger. Now, poisoned by his own desperation, his body is crumbling. His name is forgotten. His redemption is long overdue.

Ruelle was once known as Red Riding Hood. The girl who ran. The girl who survived the night the woods took her grandmother—and her peace. But when a broken howl echoes from the forest, something inside her stirs. The past is calling. It is him… though she doesn’t know it yet. What she finds isn’t the monster from her nightmares, but a dying creature—wounded, hollow, and full of regret. Saving him will take more than healing herbs. It will demand ancient magic, a trial of spirit, and a descent into a sacred place where only true healers may walk. To heal him, Ruelle must face the grief she’s buried, and the rage she’s fed on since she was little.

But someone else stalking her. Someone who sees Ruelle not as a person, but as a prize.
Ruelle and the Wolf’s Curse is a haunting and heart-twisting dark fantasy novel—a story of grief, healing, and the slow-burning magic of mercy. A tale where vengeance tempts, but forgiveness transforms.

So, walk the path with her. And fall in love!
