Jillian Maitlandin velvollisuuksiin kuului leskeksi jäätyään naida puhdasverinen ihmissusi. Hänen diktatuurimainen isänsä ei ollut koskaan antanut hänelle vapauksia, eikä antaisi nytkään, sen Jillian tiesi. Mutta Jillianilla oli kuitenkin salaisuutensa, eikä hän muistanut, että oli kirjoittanut asiasta päiväkirjaansa. Jillianin poika Toby oli 11-vuotias, ikäistään valppaampi, eikä häneltä jäisi enää ymmärtämättä mikään, mitä hän ympärillään näki. Ross Kavanagh on menettänyt kaiken – työnsä ja kunnioituksensa, mutta kun 11-vuotias Toby ilmestyy hänen ovelleen ja kutsuu häntä isäkseen, saa hän jotakin, jota ei koskaan kuvitellut ansaitsevansakaan. Jillianin, Rossin ja Tobyn tie viettämään rauhallista perhe-elämää on esteitä täynnä. Ennen kuin he ovat ymmärtäneet välillään roihuavan rakkauden, täytyy heidän lajitoveriensakin ymmärtää, että kaikkea ei voi saavuttaa väkivallalla, vaan sovinto on oikea tie onneen.

The New York Times–bestselling author “takes readers to a realm where Faerie and mortal worlds intersect and spins a darkly magical story” (Library Journal). After eloping with her mysterious cousin Cornelius, Eden Fleming discovers he is, in reality, a powerful, otherworldly being, a guardian of the forest, and she was “given” to him by her father in a bargain for the latter’s life. Though her feelings for the forest lord are real, Eden flees—only to learn she is pregnant with his halfling child. Years later, following a loveless marriage, Eden returns to the dilapidated estate where she last saw Cornelius. And when he finds her there, a devastating lie will be exposed—one that will reveal Cornelius’s true heart, heal Eden’s shattered soul, and save the magical realm they have both come to love. Based on the ancient English legend of Herne the Hunter, The Forest Lord is “sheer magic . . . utterly romantic and impossible to put down” (Mary Balogh). “Magical, mystical, and moving, Krinard’s book has a surprise villain and a nice twist at the end. Fans of Nora Roberts’ Irish trilogy [Jewels of the Sun, Tears of the Moon, Heart of the Sea] and Karen Fox’s Buttercup Baby will be delighted by this fantasy and its underlying ecological message.” —Booklist
