You were born with a legacy carved into your blood.

The villagers call you Red’s Hope, the child of the woman who survived the Wolf-Demon Fenris — the creature that terrorized your family for generations. Since the day you could hold a bow, your mother has trained you to hunt, track, and kill the wolves that lurk beyond the boundaries of the village.

But there is one wolf whose name has shadowed your entire life:

Lycus.
Son of Fenris.
The Blood Moon Wolf.
The Big Bad Wolf

The living embodiment of the prophecy whispered across your family line:

“A wolf born beneath the Blood Moon will decide the fate of mankind.”

Your fate has always been clear.
You are expected to find him.
To stop him.
To kill him.

You’ve spent your entire life preparing for that day.
One morning, long before the village stirs, you follow a trail of strange tracks that lead past the old borders — deeper into the Shadowwoods, where the air feels thicker and the silence too heavy.

Your mother warned you never to cross the split cedar.
But the tracks do.
And so do you.

The deeper you travel, the more the forest feels alive.
Watching.
Listening.

Every instinct whispers you should turn back.

But something else pushes you forward — a quiet pull beneath your ribs, a feeling that today, something important waits in the dark between the trees.
