The Wolf and the Girl
Nov. 15th, 2019 09:35 amI've finished the copyedits of The Wolf and the Girl! It will be published as soon as my cover artist finishes the cover and I've knocked the blurb into a shape that I like.
The blurb so far:
A Little Red Riding Hood retelling set in pre-Revolutionary Russia.
When a wounded wolf collapses on Masha's doorstep, only her grandmother's insistence that this wolf is a transformed human prevents Masha from killing it with an ax. Masha helps the wolf change back, and discovers that the wolf is her old friend Raisa, a village girl who was sent to Siberia after attempting to assassinate a tsarist official. While she was in Siberia, Raisa fell under the sway of a sorceress who swore she could use dark magic to bring the revolution to Russia - but when Raisa began to question her methods, the sorceress transformed Raisa into a wolf.
After a brutal confrontation with the sorceress, Masha and Raisa flee to France. They develop an act that catches the eye of a French film director, who casts them in a silent film adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood... which alerts the sorceress to their whereabouts in France.
Now that sorceress and her pack are coming for Raisa and Masha again. How can Raisa and Masha defeat this dark magic?
