The Princess Fugitive: A Reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood

Four Kingdoms, Book 2

By: Melanie Cellier

Narrated by: Esther Wane

Princess Ava used to be a weapon - sharp, strong and beautiful. But when she fails at her most important task, she's forced to flee from her own family.

Only her personal bodyguard, Hans, remains loyal. Hans claims to know the real Ava but she finds that hard to believe - after all, she's been the villain so long that she can't remember anything else.

Deep in exile, Ava learns her kingdom needs a hero, and she might be the only one who can save it. The catch? She'll have to ally herself with the people she blames for her downfall.

But in a game of life and death where the stakes are an entire kingdom, winning over her enemies will only be the beginning. Can one fugitive save her people, her kingdom, and - hardest of all - herself?

In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, the girl in the red hood has been swallowed up by the wolf and must decide if she's willing to fight for her freedom, no matter the cost.

Delightful Fairy Tale

Both my wife and I absolutely loved this wonderful fairytale with adventure and surprises! We both could not have enjoyed it more. A.clean delightful fairytale with loads of charm, wit, and surprises.

barely red riding hood

I really liked this book. If I had anything bad to say, it would be that it didn't really remind me of Red Riding Hood. The other tales are closer to the originals while adding some extra plot elements and making the characters actually interesting. This book strayed a bit further. However, it was a great tale. I was skeptical whether I'd enjoy reading about a princess who was a villain from another book, but Ava had a strong inner voice with her worries about appearing weak and losing control. She was likable in her struggles despite initial shortcomings (and rudeness!).

Loved!!

The last few books, I have listened to have been dark and left me feeling down. This book is amazing. Leaving you with Hope and happiness. ❤️❤️❤️

The redemption arc!

he redemption arc!! We first met Princess Ava in The Princess Companion and she was “the bad guy.” I did not like her at all and was done with her. Melanie Cellier took a very unlikable character and made me connect with her in so many ways, that I was wondering if she was based on me in some ways. Ava grew so much as a person, faced the bad parts of herself, made deliberate changes, and became a queen that everyone loved. And Hans was just so great the entire time. I could not recommend this book enough.
