amount of moral teachings included. This is a book that would be excellent for young teens and adults alike.”

“If you enjoyed Little Red Riding Hood as a child, you will love this book. It has mystery, adventure, and suspense. Once you start to read it you won't be able to stop until you finish it. This is the first time I have read anything by this author but he has found a fan of his writings. He is an amazing storyteller.”

“Imagine Little Red Riding Hood being scarred by her traumatic encounter with the big bad wolf, and imagine that the big bad wolf ‘isn't a wolf.’ Then let her grow into an angry teenager, give her a red cape, a reloading crossbow and a grappling hook, and gallop with her on her one-supergirl-war against a coven of big bad wolves. The Red Rider is a teen action-fantasy hero and that is how the novel reads. No spoilers here: The suspense with author [D.A. Randall] is just how dark this fantasy will turn, as he takes the white-washed premise of the Brothers Grimm and gets much, much grimmer. A great fit with the grown-up fairy-tale versions of recent years that has emerged in print and film. I recommend it with pleasure.

I never meant to become this.

The lazy breeze made my red hooded cloak waft about my shoulders as I sat atop my horse, my cheeks warmed by the consuming blaze. The same gentle wind lifted the roaring flames higher and higher, racing through every inch of the building. I could do nothing to silence the screams of the men inside as they shouted my name. The name they had given me.

“Rider! Rider!”

Nothing to change what I had become.

It was not entirely my choice. I had not started this war, nor had I planned to become a sixteen-year old warrior. I started out as a little girl, innocent as any other. Enjoying life, enjoying my family, anticipating a happy future.

Until they had disrupted my entire world, nearly a decade ago …

“Hit her again, harder!”

Egged on by his friends, Jacque Denue had smiled and rammed his fist into my gut. The
