Red

Set in the shadowed land of Hadithi, Red is a mythic fantasy that follows a young healer who has spent her life in the heart of the Dark Wood-a place steeped in mystery, fear, and the unseen influence of wolves that twist human hearts toward selfishness and despair. Raised by her bitter, aging Gran after her parents' deaths, Red senses the darkness that preys upon her people.

Her quiet life changes when she meets Prince Desi of Alameth and his bodyguard, the Huntsman Jacobe, who introduce her to Fumi, a hidden King full of light, healing, and spiritual gifts. When Desi's careless affection turns to promises he cannot keep, his sudden departure shatters Red's heart and sends her back to the Wood she had hoped to escape.

Blamed for a community tragedy and desperate for love, Red marries Jamie, a man soon overtaken by the wolves' corruption. Years of spiritual and emotional abuse follow until a long-buried truth surrounding Desi's farewell letter comes to light-one that recasts the past and, through a quiet act of love, gives her the courage to flee. Though she nearly dies, she is rescued by the mysterious Fumi, who teaches her the ways of healing, strength, and loving well.

When she returns years later, Red must face the Wood once more-its people, its wolves, and the shadows that nearly destroyed her. With Jacobe's help, she confronts the darkness that has ruled her life and discovers the destiny hidden in her true name.

Blending mythic romance and spiritual allegory, Red is a darkly luminous tale about the wounded faces which darkness hides behind, the courage to face spiritual evil, and a love strong enough to overcome the powers that seek to break us.
