My name is Gerwalta Faust—named for the girl in the true story behind Red Riding Hood. The one who fell in love with a werewolf... and died because of it.
As heir to the House of Red, I’m expected to lead with strength, uphold tradition, and never repeat the mistakes of my namesake. But then Cody, the alpha's son, came into my life—loyal, infuriating, unforgettable—and I made the same choice she did.
Now I’m caught between a legacy I never asked for and a love I can’t give up. Can I change the story before it ends the same way?
Requited is a character-driven urban fantasy filled with supernatural politics, powerful women, and a fresh take on fairy tale mythology. The perfect introduction to The Red Chronicles series.
Kendrai Meeks was exiled from the American Midwest after college and spent two decades imprisoned in California’s sunshine before engineering her escape. Since her first publication in 2011, she’s gravitated toward stories where heroines sling crossbows, reality gets hacked, and the monsters are usually the ones bleeding. Her heart belongs to urban fantasy and science fiction—especially when wrapped in myth, history, and just enough snark to sting.
As a featured speaker on fanfiction, audiobooks, and serialized storytelling, Kendrai brings her obsessions with sound and lore to readers and writers alike. She’s a world music addict, a reluctant traveler (flying is a necessary evil), and an unapologetic believer that the supernatural is just history with better lighting.
