Red X Wolf

Damsels of Distress, Book 1

De: Dakota Krout

Narrado por: Emily Woo Zeller

Know when to hold your ground. When to walk away. But especially when to run.

Lily Red, known as "Little Red", has trained her entire life to become a system-acknowledged scout under her Grandmother's guidance. Hunting, tracking, and trap-making—she's a master of her craft. But her dreams of joining the elite Scout forces are repeatedly blocked by a leader of the Wyld with a grudge against Grandmother.

When Lily uncovers an impending invasion by Wolf Warband, brutal raiders from the frozen north, a deadly challenge offered by their war leader sets her pulse racing. She's his partner in prophecy, so as far as he's concerned she's the only person in the way. Little Red races away to warn the Wyld, but the city's rulers mock her warnings as fairy tales, dismissing the threat entirely. Undeterred, she vows to protect the people of Canu Moch herself.

But Lily isn't about to back down. She'll be the competent protector of the people of Canu Moch—whether they want her or not. With the three city-states planning to ignore the danger, she strikes out on her own, quickly finding herself on the razor's edge between duty and ambition as Little Red pits herself against the Big Bad Wolf.

Stay on the path. Don't stray or roam. Lest the forest decides you shan't find your way home.

Another great book by Dekota Krout

I enjoyed this book a lot and the narrator did a great job as well

super high quality interesting untold story love It

titles and this section are like the same thing right??? apparently this has to be fifteen words tho so

Love It

Little Red Riding Hood and a couple other nursery rhyms turned litrpg and done very well. Can't wait for the other Damsels to get their stories.

happy ending

had to speed up to 1.20, so as not to fall asleep. otherwise, an excellent happily ever after story!!!

Didnt expect the romance at the end

Not as much stats as some of the other books by the author, but im eager to see how the old folk tales are redone by the author. It seems like it will be interesting at the least. A unique take on a story for sure.

New twist on a classic.

This was a total new twist on the classic little red riding hood. It had great story with Lite RPG adaptation with a shocking ending. A must read

A great twist on nursery rhymes

I have enjoyed Krout's previous stories, so I picked this title up. The story started off a bit slow, but it picked up and was paced well. Dakota took everyday nursery rhymes and put them into a unique world and a great story.

fun twist on a classic with Dakota flare

I enjoyed the new take on a classic with the Dakota krout litrpg mechanics. great author and a fun read

Hunter or hunted

I really enjoyed the fairytale world that was told in this story. I really enjoyed how Dakota Krout we together various common phrases in common stories from my childhood and into a new vivid world.
I’ve never heard a book read by Emily before, but she did an amazing job with the voices the inflections and kept me on the edge of my seat with her interpretation of the scenes. I definitely will want to read her books in the future.
I can’t wait for the other four books in this series to be released. I’m going to pre-order them all.
I’m a long existing Dakota Krout fan and I was ready for all the puns and references. Turns out I wasn’t, he did a fantastic job

Great setup to another great series

It’s fun to see the classic fairytales played out in Dakota’s style. The story was a great mix of several stories from my childhood with a RPG flair and it leaves enough open ended to leave you curious how the whole series plays out. And it ends with a strong finish, which I’m always glad for.
