Description

An engaging and surprising retelling of Little Red Riding Hood that follows Lu (aka Little Red) and her grandmother into the wolf's belly--a magical dimension home to all the wolf has ever eaten. Perfect for fans of LIGHTFALL and THIS WAS OUR PACT.

You may think you know the story.

Little Red Riding Hood is swallowed by a wolf, and later rescued by a kindly Woodcutter.

But that's not what really happened.

For starters, her name was Lu. The daughter of two brave adventurers, she wasn't headed to Grandmother's house. She was looking for glory.

She was hunting the Wolf.

Swallowed by the beast, Lu finds herself trapped in Wolf's Belly, a magical dimension holding all the things the wolf has eaten. To escape, she must win over and unite the other fairytale survivors, including a stubborn Knight and the fourth Little Pig.

Adventure awaits, and danger! Can Lu unlock the secrets of this strange realm before the Wolf devours her village?
