Can two broken people ever find redemption?

Roshien Cochall has one goal: appear before the Gwyns and prove that she can move beyond the mistakes of her past. Nothing seems to move her closer to that goal, however, and she is left feeling stuck.

Lorcan Mactire has been waiting patiently for nearly ten years to seize a cochall’s magic ring. Taking Roshien’s grandmother hostage, he lures Roshien to his fortress, confident that he will soon uncover the ring’s secret.

Is this Roshien’s opportunity for redemption? Can she somehow convince Lorcan to let her go—and maybe even take him with her? Or is this the beginning of her final failure?

Book 1 of the The Feyfolk Trilogy series.

Review of A Wolf’s Rose

M. C. Kennedy combines “Little Red Riding Hood” with “Beauty and the Beast” to create a deeper story of hatred, forgiveness, and redemption.
· March 2024

What if Little Red Riding Hood chose to stay with the wolf and rescue her grandma? A Wolf’s Rose by M. C. Kennedy combines that classic fairy tale with Beauty and the Beast to create a new and deeper story of hatred, forgiveness, and redemption. Roshien, a messenger for the king, wants to prove worthy of her role and protect her family from the villains who have already killed her parents and next kidnap her grandmother. Unique supporting characters pose new challenges, and Kennedy’s world creates a colorful tapestry to explore a familiar tale.

Best for: Teenage readers who like fairy-tale retellings and darker stories.

Discern: Some battle violence, enemies-to-lovers trope, magic used by fantasy creatures, villains make deals with a dark lord.
