Her forest is under siege, her kin destroyed, and the enemy is her only hope. Kalle, the last Guardian of the Forest, stands at the heart of a war between two invading factions. Her kin, protectors of the realm, have been slaughtered by strange warriors determined to stop the demon scourge. When their leader, Cortan, proposes an alliance, Kalle must set aside her grief to protect her sacred forest before it’s consumed by the growing darkness. Yet a prophecy entwines their fates, leaving Kalle and Cort no choice but to fight together, even as the pull between them threatens to unravel everything. When the demon’s master targets Cort, Kalle is tested like never before. To save him means risking everything she’s fought to protect, but to let him fall could doom her world—and her heart. Kalle will suck in readers who enjoy Patricia Briggs’s enemies to lovers romance, or the spirit animal shifters of Faith Hunter.
