“A dark and twisted fairy tale with betrayal and family secrets as sharp as the knives the strong and defiant heroine uses on the wolves haunting the heart of the woods.” — Yolanda Sfetsos, author of Only Darkness

“An inventive take on a timeless folk tale, Daughters of the Blue Moon sinks its teeth in and doesn’t let go. I devoured it.” — Chris Campeau, author of Resisters

Everybody knows the Big Bad Wolf didn’t want to eat Carmine. Except her.

Carmine, a seasoned huntress, has been protected from wolves by a powerful spell tattooed on her back for years. But one day, the magic fails, and she narrowly escapes a violent encounter with a furious she-wolf that was determined to kill her.

As she recovers from her injuries, she experiences eerie dreams of a singing wolf. Though the dreams could be harmless, the singing wolf looks exactly like the she-wolf that almost took her life. Scarier, the dreams remind Carmine of those she had when she was younger, before a talking wolf tricked and almost devoured her in the waking world.

Soon Carmine realizes the spell her grandmother put on her back isn’t what it seems to be, and her family knows more about herself than she does.

A sapphic and dark retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, Daughters of the Blue Moon is a tale about retaking ownership of your own body and destiny.
