Wyatt is no trespassing Goldilocks. He's an injured wolf-shifter seeking shelter from the storm. Wyatt’s wolf shifter pack has spent months tracking down and protecting four nearly forgotten mystical relics from the unscrupulous schemes of a dangerous cabal. Now, it’s up to Wyatt to find the final matrix before it falls into the wrong hands. Unfortunately, a haunted forest and the three legendary wise women who inhabit it are just as determined to hide their secrets from the rest of the world. For millennia, the Aeghrum Forest, and the powerful Earth Stone it safeguards, have been protected by the Guardian, the Guide, and the Keeper. With the legacy of her mother’s unprecedented betrayal casting a long shadow, Kory is uncompromisingly dedicated to her role as the current Guardian. Her determination and rigid loyalty have never wavered. But the wounded stranger she finds asleep on the floor of her cottage could bring disaster into her forest and her life. Can Kory trust Wyatt to help protect the forest and the Earth Stone? More importantly, can she trust her own heart not to lead her down her mother's traitorous path?
