For the Wolf
The second daughter is owed to the Wolf in the Wilderwood, a debt the kingdom has paid for centuries. She goes, and finds a man being slowly eaten by the forest he is holding back. Bloody, botanical and quietly furious. On the House's scale it rates 2 for spice (warm), 4 for how much of the book is the romance, and 4 for craft. Readers who loved Uprooted and want something darker in the same forest.
