In the enchanting world of “Wolf-Girls,” author Hannah Kate weaves a spellbinding narrative that combines elements of “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Set in a realm where legends come alive, this debut novel introduces us to Redarys, the only Second Daughter born in centuries. Her destiny? To be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood—a fate she accepts willingly, only to discover that the stories she grew up on were lies.
Four hundred years ago, a Valleydan princess sought refuge in the Wilderwood with her lover, the Wolf. Pursued by the legendary Five Kings, they became trapped in the forest. Now, the Five Kings’ power hinges on the ritual sacrifice of every Second Daughter born to Valleyda’s queen. Enter Redarys, who walks into the Wilderwood on her 20th birthday, expecting the original Wolf. Instead, she encounters Eammon, the Wolf’s son, who wants nothing to do with her sacrifice.
Whitten masterfully explores themes of duty, love, and loss. Redarys grapples with her wild magic abilities, while her sister, Neve, desperately seeks to bring her home. The forest itself—the Wilderwood—becomes a character, its secrets and ancient magic entwined with the fate of the princesses.
Kirkus Reviews hails “Wolf-Girls” as a must-read fantasy debut. Whitten’s seamless blend of fairy tale elements creates an unputdownable story. Even secondary characters feel like old friends, and the boundaries between duty and desire blur. If you’re craving a fresh twist on classic folklore, immerse yourself in the Wilderwood and discover the truth behind the Wolf’s legend
