The last thing the Wolf needs is for Little Red Riding Hood to crash his murder investigation.
Mariska knows her duty—be the good healer princess, the dedicated daughter, and marry for money, because her family has a ruinous secret: they’re broke. However, after stumbling out of a snowstorm with only a single boot, an impossible flower, and no memory of the previous night, and straight into the arms of her teenage crush, money is the last thing on Mariska's mind.
Kaz is trapped in the mountains with a broken leg, a beast under his skin, and a long list of dismembered murder victims. The last person he needs wandering into the middle of his investigation is Mariska Radanova, the little sister of his oldest and only friend.
When death follows Mariska and Kaz back to Tal, they are forced to confront bloody murders and the secrets they’ve carried since childhood. Will they dare to step off the path?
