(Currently on hold until April 2016) Rohan "Ro" Northwood knows that red forests of the Northwood well, living in it with her black and silver kin, her red fur as much a part of the landscape as the wet earth and tall red oak trees. A week before her eighteenth year, Ro is sent off to her grandmother to claim her birthright as the red wolf in her family: that of the Wise Wolf, a famed creature meant to serve as protector of the woods and often viewed as a bringer of fortune to those that seek her. She agrees: after all, it's what she's been groomed for, and despite her blood red coat singling her out her entire life, she's proud to have been chosen to take her aging grandmother's place. Yet there's much to fear beyond the northern woodlands: there's the threat of humans, eager to kill stray wolves who leave the wood's protection and are unsuspecting. With her mother's blessing -and stern advice against the humans she'll be living amongst- Ro sets out on her quest to the Westwood, seeking her Grandmother dozens of miles away in a new land. But even wise wolves fall to temptation, and Ro is no different. Tempted away by the scent of jam and crusted bread on the wind one evening, she encounters a girl named Scarlet, on the road to visit her grandmother at the edge of Westwood. Taking human form, Ro accompanies her, enamored by humans and her first chance to see them up close. It is there, in the sight of one Scarlet Slaughter of Jam Village, that Ro faces an enemy she never expected to encounter: her own heart and the fondness that blooms for human flesh and love alike. Yet true danger awaits Ro at the end of the road, and its going to take more than one wolf to fend it off, lest the soon to be wise wolf falls to the blade of a hatchet. The Red Wood is a story about love, friendship, and temptation, all meeting at a crossroad where the hunter becomes hunted, and kindness blooms anew.

Now, Red is a story book character, but here is a story that nobody has ever heard of before. Red Ridinghood is a wolf hunter to the third degree. She is twenty five with brown hair. Her eyes as white as ice. This is how werewolves think that she's one of them, but she's not. Red carries around a bow and arrow in her little basket so that she doesn't seem suspicious. Her gran made it for her before she died from a werewolf attack. Red's first werewolf was at the age of fifteen when gran died and she has been killing ever since. But let's just go through the background details. When Red was about five, she got a red hood and a basket. She would always go from her little cottage to Gran's old home by a pathway, that was eroded with weeds and daisies, so that she could deliver her mother's famous home made jam drop biscuits. Now this is a time without any cars so it was about a half an hour's walk. Yes, Red would always hear things in the forest an turn around to see who it was. No one there. So she kept walking. The only thing is that you can never fall for a werewolf. This was going to be hard. Warning: the following chapter may contain corse language, spiritual violence and fantasy drama.
