The Devil's Mask: A Romantasy Little Red Riding Hood Re-telling
A Little Red Riding Hood Re-telling
The closer I get to him, the harder it is to tell if Vail is my protector... or my greatest threat.
Lily Rhodes never believed in fairy tales—until one started coming after her. In the shadow of a haunted forest, she leads a quiet life working at her grandmother's antique shop, blissfully unaware of the dark legacy that has followed her family for generations. When she stumbles upon a mysterious mask that pulls her into a world of ancient curses and dangerous magic, Lily learns that her bloodline is tied to the infamous Red Cloaks—warriors who once protected the world from the Wolf King, a fearsome ruler banished long ago.
But the Wolf King has returned, and he wants Lily to wear the cursed mask and free him from his prison. Torn between her duty to stop him and the dark temptation of the power it offers, Lily must navigate a treacherous path. Her only ally is Vail, a cursed knight bound to the Wolf King by an ancient spell. As their connection deepens, Lily must decide if she can trust him—or if he's just another part of the trap laid by the devilish forces within the forest.
With the fate of both the human world and the magical realms at stake, Lily must face her deepest fears, unlock the power within her, and confront the devil in the shadows. But wearing The Devil’s Mask comes at a price—and the line between hero and villain blurs with every step she takes.
In this captivating romantasy retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, love and power collide in a battle that could destroy everything. Will Lily become the forest’s savior—or its next prisoner?
