Wilderwood is a fantasy/romance book with some violent and sexual elements. The three of them must fight to save Wilderwood from an invasion from another realm and protect the town from the Faelands Queen. Trapped in another realm, they tirelessly sought a way back to their world. Ranger Bellemy Eislen disappeared two years ago when what was to be a quick trip to the Faelands on behalf of the Rangers went entirely wrong. When Luther’s trail leads him to the odd little town of Wilderwood, he quickly realizes there’s more to the town – and his hunt – than expected.

Ranger Roderick Arman hunts Corbin Luther, the feral vampire who killed his partner two years ago. Octavia Wilder cares for those who live in the town her ancestor built and when a feral vampire threatens the peace, she partners with the Ranger who has brought word of the threat. It is also home to other kind and having weres, mages, and even an ancient griffin living amongst mortals just isn’t done. Wilderwood is a haven for those who have been cast out of “proper” society: academics, artists, the eccentrics and undesirous. I know what I am, and it is because of that feeling, and because of the marks on my flesh, that I stand steadfast in my cause.' I have never once felt human, or like anything else. And so because we have free will, we are more like the humans and the other creatures with souls. That we are only brutal if we choose to be. Those who are born into this fate have better control and thus are civilized. Created vampires are feral, ruthless killers who desire blood above all else. 'They say we are born, not made, as vampires.
