Lily Red, known as 'Little Red', has honed her scouting skills under Grandmother's relentless tutelage. Though she can track or trap anything, and vanish into the forest before their very eyes, the leaders of Canu Moch snub her-blocking every attempt she makes at joining the elite Scout forces of the Wyld.

Then she uncovers an invasion already in progress.

Wolf Warband has arrived on their peaceful shores, and to Lily's great surprise, their leader immediately marks her as their greatest threat. He's powerful, cunning, and refuses to underestimate her-he recognizes her as his fated rival in prophecy.

As Lily races to warn the three city-states before they can be swallowed up, the big bad berserker is always right on her heels. With every encounter and near-miss, the boundary between predator and prey blurs.

Why is it that the first person who truly sees her... has sworn to hunt her down?
