Chapter One

The first chapter of a fairy tale mash-up which asks the question, “What if Red Riding Hood grew up to be the Queen of Hearts?!” Frieda Jacobs has made a name for herself with her regular adventures through the fearsome Forest of Fangs. Her monthly treks over the river and through the woods are the stuff of local legend. But her grandmother suspects that Frieda is far more important than anyone realizes. And if Granny’s right, the revelation of Frieda’s true identity could upend the balance of power in the post-apocalyptic paradise they call home.
