Based on the classic childhood tale, Little Red Riding Hood, Crimson Bound is about the fatal mistake Rachelle made when she was young. Two years ago, in her attempt to free the world from eternal darkness, Rachelle forgets her aunt’s teachings, and thus strays from the forest path. As a result of her reckless actions, she became bound to the evil within the forest that she hoped to defeat, turning her into a bloodhound. Now many years later, Rachelle works for the king by protecting the kingdom from deadly creatures as she wants to perform penance for her actions. When Rachelle is forced to guard Armand, the king’s son, she convinces him to help her find Joyeuse, a magical sword that may be the key to extinguish the eternal darkness forever. I absolutely adored this book. Unlike other books that are based upon fairy tales, Crimson Bound has its own unique twist.  - @Vaseline of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
