About this book

Cinder is on the run with a dangerous secret, and Scarlet Benoit is desperately searching for her missing grandmother—only to discover that nothing about her life is quite what she thought it was. When Scarlet meets Wolf, a mysterious street fighter with his own shadowy past, she finds herself drawn into a dangerous world of intrigue and conspiracy that reaches far beyond her small French village. As their paths collide with Cinder's escape, all three must stay ahead of the ruthless Lunar Queen Levana, who will stop at nothing to recapture them. This sweeping blend of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood will have you racing through pages with heart-pounding action, unexpected romance, and a cast of characters who'll steal your heart.

Blend soft indie folk with moody electronic undertones—think Purity Ring, Bon Iver, and The 1975. Capture that feeling of being hunted yet alive, caught between worlds, where danger lurks beneath quiet moments and trust blooms in shadows. Atmospheric, tense, intimate.
