Deep in the woods of Forest Haven, in the western most parts of Wylionis, resides a forest witch whose life is painfully mundane. Until now…
Crimson's life is perfect. Or at least, she tells herself it is. Her grandmother may be a little reclusive and wary, but living in the forest and spending her days between the village and surrounding meadows is exactly how Crimson should want to live. Catching the eye of a handsome newcomer and a taciturn tradesman is even better, and Crimson finally feels like things in her lonely life could change for the better.
But when a monster appears in the woods, no one is safe, least of all Crimson and Granny. Determined to solve the mystery of what the monster is and how to get rid of it, Crimson sets out to protect her home and family. What she doesn't know is that no one is who they seem, and monsters hide in plain sight, often right beside the ones they hunt.
Hood of Copper is a cozy, spooky tale inspired by Red Riding Hood filled with lore, magic, forest witches, and a magical realm. It is the first in the Tales From Haunted Lane series and is the perfect read for any haunting Autumn day.
