Corbin – the protector wallowing in guilt Arthur – the warrior tired of fighting Flynn – the trickster with an artist’s soul Rowan – the enigma whose scars run deep As soon as Maeve enters Briarwood, she’s drawn to Corbin, Arthur, Flynn and Rowan – four beautiful boys drenched in grief, hope, and ancient magic.
