About this ebook

"There's no predator more dangerous than a frightened one."
 

It's been more than a decade since a pack of criminals robbed Aster of her memories, killed her grandmother, and left her for dead. Now the little girl in the red hood is all grown up, and the wolves are paying with their lives.
 

But as her quest nears its end, the enchantment that saved Aster all those years ago begins to crumble, threatening her life and her sanity. Nightmares warn of dangers she can't name, and Aster fears her fairy tale past isn't what she's always believed.
 

Her lost childhood memories could be the key to her salvation, but the only person who can help might be a fascinating but untrustworthy young witch who talks to ghosts, sees too much, and asks questions Aster isn't sure she wants answered.
 

In a city filled with dark magic and darker secrets, there's no one Aster can truly trust.
 

Especially not herself.

NOTE TO SENSITIVE READERS: Scars and Seams is a mature YA retelling of Bluebeard and Little Red Riding Hood which contains intense scenes of violence and gore as well as psychological manipulation by authority figures.
