Ruby Red led a sheltered life, moving from town to town. Never able to put down roots, her mother was all she had. Then one night her mother is killed and Ruby was attacked by a werewolf. Luckily new allies come to her aid. Now Ruby's whole life is changed as she learns and understands her true heritage. With the help of her new 'unusual' friends, she is out for payback — seeking revenge for the loss of her mother and her home. She'll stay on her path of vengeance, even if it leads straight to her own father. 2017 Dante Rossetti Award Shortlist.
