Arden Hood, blind since birth, is not afraid of witches.
Every day Arden walks alone, deep into the woods, to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother, and she’s yet to come across a single witch.
Arden believes her life may be this small forever—quiet evenings with her father and days spent at her grandmother’s bedside—until two encounters alter the course of her life. One day at the market she chances upon the Queen’s hunter, who develops an interest in her yet won’t say what he’s hunting; and that same evening, she’s rescued from a wolf attack by a mysterious young woman named Myra, the last witch still living in the woods.
Myra is nothing like the witches in the villagers’ stories—she is good and kind and soon she becomes the best friend Arden has ever had. The girls hide their friendship, but they cannot hide forever. The hunter was sent to these woods for a reason, and he won’t leave until he’s captured a witch…
Advance Praise
"A new take on “Little Red Riding Hood;” fantasy and fairy tale readers will enjoy this witchy twist."
―School Library Journal
“Cozy yet thrilling and utterly magical, a beautiful exploration of identity, independence, and what forms love can take. This is a perfect book for anyone who's ever thought that not every fairy tale has to end with a kiss."
―Ann Zhao , author of Dear Wendy
“Girls Walking with Wolves delivers on all the elegant, atmospheric magic that the title promises. A nuanced exploration of different kinds of love for readers eager for more queer fantasy.”
―Amanda Dewitt, author of Aces Wild and Wren Martin Ruins It All
“An exploration of love, danger, and identity, all packed within a Little Red Riding Hood retelling. It also revolves around, quite possibly, my favorite aro-ace protagonist ever, and the disability representation is strong and meaningful. This is a must-read!"
―Madeline Dyer , editor of Being Ace, Being Aro, and These Bodies Ain’t Broken

Beautiful, magical take on Red Riding Hood -- the characters are all there, but the tale couldn't be much more different. Arden, blind from birth, walks through the woods each day to care for her bed bound Gran. One day she meets a wolf, who turns out to be the companion of a lovely young witch. The two young women become friends, but Arden is also being courted by the Queen's huntsman. Figuring out what she wants, what is true, who is worthy of her trust, are all big challenges.
Experiencing the world without sight is -- sorry -- eye-opening. Arden's growth as an independent person is glorious. The whole story is beautiful.
