When tragedy strikes, Lark must rely on a new ally or risk losing everything. Unable to tell friend from foe, Lark must trust her instincts and hope her human emotions don’t cloud her judgment. “You’re chasing a happily ever after, and I don’t think that’s how this story ends.” Having bid farewell to her friends, Daciana travels alone.

But old feelings rekindle, threatening to burn them both. Can she ever truly outrun the past? Nothing itched like an unanswered question.

In a world of impossible truths, Langford is determined to find the answer to save the mortal world... Before it's too late. Lament of the Wolf is a dark reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood.
