n the Scottish Borders, circa 1700, a village survives on thread-and on silence. Rowan MacRae is a loom girl raised by her grandmother, Elspeth, a weaver whose hands hold more than cloth. In Greythorn, women learn early that there are truths you do not speak aloud: who watches, who takes, who disappears. When accusations of witchcraft begin to spread through the village, silence becomes dangerous-and remembering becomes an act of defiance. As women are taken and erased by church and court alike, Rowan discovers that the loom itself holds a hidden language. Patterns stitched into hems and seams carry warnings, names, escape routes, and testimonies-messages passed quietly from woman to woman when speaking could mean death. What begins as survival becomes resistance. What begins as one girl becomes a network.

Reimagining Little Red Riding Hood through the lens of historical persecution and collective memory, The Weaver and the Wolf is a dark, lyrical fairytale about women who refuse to vanish quietly. It is a story of thread as witness, cloth as record, and community as protection-a reminder that while wolves may hunt alone, women survive together.
