BAD WOLVES - A Grimmhold Tale

** In a world of steam and danger, Scarlett Lockhart joins the Redcoats. But in the darkness of the Bone Forest around the Iron City of Grimmhold, the Bad Wolves are already lurking for fresh prey. **

"Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood
You're everything a big, bad wolf could want
Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walkin' in these spooky old woods alone."
- Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs -

Since her brother disappeared on one of his missions, Scarlett Lockhart has been alone in the steam-powered city of Grimmhold. When the search for Raine in the upper city with the cable cars of the thorn hedge, as well as in the lower city in the steam-shrouded slums with the whistling of the steam boilers remains unsuccessful, there were only one possibility left for Scarlett: she joined the dreaded Redcoats, let herself be infected with the dangerous plague and henceforth dressed in the red of the outcast.

As a redcoat, she takes over her brother's mission: an important message must be brought to the remote outpost 'Grandmother' as quickly as possible.

Equipped with the Seven-Mile Boots and a fiery Tinderling, she sets off for Station Grandmother. But in the dark forests of Grimmhold, countless dangers are lurking. Not only do creatures threaten the lives of anyone who ventures into the Bone Forest - the enemies of their kingdom, the so-called 'Bad Wolves,' also hide in the shadows and are especially out to kill the Redcoats.

Soon Scarlett must realize that her success could decide not only her brother's fate but also that of the Iron City of Grimmhold itself.
