Although ABC’s ‘Once Upon A Time,’ has already enjoyed a previous book release,

, which is essentially a retelling of the popular fairy tale series’ first season, it’s Ruby/Red who will receive the spotlight for the new original novel inspired by the series.

Once Upon A Time: Red’s Untold Tale

will provide some backstory to the character based on the traditional Little Red Riding Hood. The official publisher’s description is as follows:

Red is 16 and lives with Granny in a cottage in the village, where boarding up the house and hiding during Wolftime is a means of survival. Red helps Granny with Granny’s baked good business, catering as well as door-to-door (in a basket) sales. Red has a constant internal battle between her wild side and her strict, overprotective upbringing, and the issue of ‘control’ as she discovers she has a hot temper when the ‘mean girls’ push her too far. (‘When we learn to control it, we needn’t fear it,’ Rumpelstiltskin says in the series.) She has flashbacks to her 13th year when she received her cloak and the nickname ‘Red.’

She is plagued by nightmares that she doesn’t understand, but the ‘Once Upon a Time’ fans will recognize them as her wolf side coming. Also, the forest creatures that used to accompany her on her deliveries are suddenly afraid of her once she turns 13. She”s taller and faster than the others at her school, and witty and strong on the outside, though she has a soft side as well.

Red balances the difficult times with Granny at home and the girls at school with an emerging and satisfying romance with Peter.

is a 256-page novel written by Wendy Toliver and is slated for release on September 22, 2015.
