Red Cloaked Huntress
Red Cloaked Huntress: A Red Riding Hood Retelling | Erika Harken
1 post | 1 read
A wolf, a destiny, and no turning back. A mysterious black wolf haunts the forest of Crimlas, stripping the woodland of its beauty and preventing the people of Rothum from harvesting the Mirimae flower—a rare and powerful medicinal plant they have relied on for centuries. Despite all efforts to kill or rid of the Black Wolf, its decade-long reign persists, as those who set out to hunt it never return home… Eighteen-year-old Loraline has lived in the devastation of the wolf’s presence since childhood, watching the sick and wounded die needlessly without the Mirimae flower. A month before her wedding, her own grandmother falls gravely ill, and Loraline knows she cannot withstand the plague of the Black Wolf any longer. Donning her blood-red cloak, the brave young woman sets out in the heart of winter to discover the Black Wolf’s origin, as well as the weakness that will bring its destruction once and for all. This short adventure story follows a fearless heroine as she heeds the call that has been with her since childhood to conquer an ancient evil. (Previously published under the title Silly Little Red.)

There were a lot of elements from the original Red Riding Hood tale, yet this short story felt completely different. It had great bones, but I wished it had been fleshed out into a full length novel. It just didn'thave enough length to show as deep of characters as I would have liked. The story was also straight to the point. The writing style was great and I gladly would have kept reading. I do plan to check out more from her.
