For the Wolf

by Hannah Whitten · 2021

In a kingdom where the first daughter is destined for the throne, the second daughter bears a darker fate. Red, the only Second Daughter in centuries, is bound to be sacrificed to the legendary Wolf of the Wood—a ritual meant to free the world’s captured gods. Relieved to leave behind a power she fears will hurt those she loves, Red ventures into the Wilderwood, only to discover that the Wolf is a man, not a monster, and the legends she’s been taught are lies. As ancient gods turn into monsters and political intrigue tightens its grip, Red must learn to harness her own dangerous magic or watch her world be devoured. A haunting blend of romance, eldritch horror, and courtly scheming, this debut dark fantasy follows Red’s fight to rewrite destiny and confront the true nature of sacrifice.
