Wilder's wonderful grandfather is dead, and so is her mother, but Grandpa Willy gives her one final gift in his will - the knowledge that her father is only her step-father.
Once she meets Hawker, the scary man who turns out to be her real dad, her life takes an unexpected turn. She finds out about a heritage she never knew she had, and secrets from the past are uncovered as she fights to save her part of the world from destruction.
And then there's Mac, with his green eyes and a soft voice that flows through her like sweet honey. He's there to help Wilder when she needs it the most, and as she struggles with how to fit into the group of people around her dad - having Mac in her life becomes more important with every bad thing that happens.
'Wilder' is the first in the Birds of a Feather series and a spin-off from the Dreughan trilogy. It's set in modern time and can be read stand-alone.
