For years, Marcy Sutton has struggled to overcome the grief of losing her fiancé to Stu Wright, a rival elf working under the rule of the Ancience’s cult. While she remains uncertain about moving forward to something new, she’s learned to avoid dwelling on the past. Thanks to Layla and the new recruits who seek out rogue elves, Marcy has come a long way in trusting others at the Academy and forging something like happiness at the greenhouse. But Stu isn’t just an elf gone bad… Now it’s up to her to help her colleague Wolf in stopping Stu’s nefarious plans. Time to finish it once and for all. Even though he’s expected to supervise the Menagerie at the start of the semester, Wolf Monroe isn’t ready to forgive and forget. Stu’s crimes are too many to dismiss: getting Wolf’s best friend killed, capturing rare animals, and scheming with evil elves hungry for power. The Ancience was all but torn down, yet Stu seems eager to rise up as the new leader of manipulative elves. Stopping Stu will protect many, but more so, it’s a chance for Wolf to finally seek revenge. Only, his tunnel vision for finding the man blinds Wolf to a trap. When Marcy—the one woman Wolf knows he can never have—is expected to rescue him, he’ll need to control his thirst for justice and hope they might be able to get along…
