Inspired by the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Red Kingdom is a passionate historical romance about the enduring quest for love and the longing for a world at harmony.
cRed Kingdom is a standalone installment in a series of reimagined classic fairy tales. Due to adult content and themes, it is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
It’s fascinating how a beloved fairy tale can morph from a childhood tale into a dark fantasy that seems hauntingly realistic.
In the second installment of her Fairy Tale Retellings, author Rachel L. Demeter delivers Red Kingdom. Using elements from Little Red Riding Hood, she skillfully creates a 15th-century adventure that pits a princess against a man named The Black Wolf.
Princess Blanchette Winslowe, clad in the resplendent red riding cloak, barely survives the siege of her family’s castle. The horrifying battle comes to life with the clang of swords and the smell of blood. Her family dead, Blanchette is all that remains of her family’s line.
Rowan Dietrich, the Black Wolf, has earned his reputation but retains a fierce code of honor. When Blanchette is captured, Rowan ensures that she is treated fairly. In the process, Blanchette gains insight into her father’s cruelty, which led to the attack.
With vivid detail, the author brings the time period to life. Rowan and Blanchette must put their differences aside in order for the attraction between them to grow.
Red Kingdom takes readers on an intense journey featuring aspects of a fairy tale made just for adults.
I live in Sunny California with my dashing husband, who inspires my romance novels every day!
Writing has always been an integral part of my identity. Before I physically learned how to write, I’d narrate stories to my mom, and she’d record them for me.
I graduated from Chapman’s film school, where I often received the feedback on my scripts, “Your stories and characters are great, but this reads like a novel!” That’s when I realized my true calling.
Themes my novels never stray far from include forbidden romance, soul mates, the power of love to redeem, mend all wounds, and triumph over darkness.
In my free time, I frequent reptile expos, lift double my body’s weight, and indulge in dinosaur trivia.
