The Red Lady is a homage to the classic stories in the form of a novel, where Étienne, a talented French artist accustomed to the good life at court, is compelled to leave behind all these comforts after falling out of favour due to an affair and travel through the woods in France seeking a living through his songs.

One dark night, he crosses paths with a mysterious woman bearing a red hood and a black sword, with which she saves him from a beast arisen from children’s stories.

By her side, he will begin a strange quest of which he knows very little and in which he will discover that fairy tales have a spine-chillingly real backstory.

----
I’ve been chased by wolves on moonless nights.

I’ve walked through crypts inhabited by the walking dead.

I’ve faced terrors that would make the bravest turn pale.

I’ve ridden with the ghostly hunt, brandishing cold iron.

I’ve wielded a howling sword that wanted to devour my soul.

I’ve seen things that shouldn’t even exist die.

I’ve done it all in pursuit of a goal that I didn’t understand.

But this is not my story.

It’s hers.
