"Scarlet" er den spændende fortsættelse til den atypiske, eventyrlig sci-fi-roman "Cinder", som genfortalte historien om Askepot - men med et mekanisk og futuristisk twist. "Scarlet" fortæller historien om Scarlet Benoit, hvis bedstemor er forsvundet. Det viser sig, at der er mange ting Scarlet ikke ved om sin bedstemor eller den store fare hun har været i hele sit liv. I sit forsøg på at finde bedstemoren må hun alliere sig med Wolf, en tvivlsom gadekæmper, der måske har afgørende informationer. Hun har svært ved at stole på et ord han siger, men deres ubelejlige kemi er ubenægtelig. Akkurat som Scarlet og Wolf får opklaret ét mysterie, støder på et nyt: cyborgen Cinder.
