Under the red cape

Winner of the contest His story in the 10 years of Galera brings a dark journey inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. Norina has always feared the Untamed, even though she's never seen one. Raised in a shack her entire life, she imagined them as monsters, taken over by their inner beast and abandoned by the Twelve Gods. Until the day her adoptive mother, Ros, tells her that she is one of them. Since then, the ashes of the Tamings, rituals in which the Untamed are burned, have been a constant reminder of the danger she and her mother face. The girl must remain hidden. Viira, the immortal Queen and daughter of the Twelve Gods, has other plans for Norina and involves her in a plot to conquer Gizamyr, the kingdom of the werewolves. With her mother in a dungeon, Norina has no choice but to embark for the enemy country, wearing the red cloak of the late Princess Mirah, hoping the Queen's plan will work. The girl must then traverse a world she thought she'd never see, where those like her are hated and killed every day. Between being treated like scum by Viira's knights and playing a princess in a delicate game of diplomacy, Norina will discover that embracing herself may not be the easiest choice, but sometimes it's the only one.
