Secrets of Old Giants (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798988338208)

The forests would not remain quiet anymore. The stars and the earth knew this, the redwoods and the ferns knew this, and soon the high estates would know it too...

A mortal with a love of the great outdoors and an infinite curiosity, Elodie Santiago has always felt a strange calling to the redwoods. Burnt out from her current situation, the thirty-something year old elementary school teacher eagerly accepts a job in Eureka, CA. She isn't sure what to make of dashing Trevor Greenthistle, who works for State Parks and is planning to run for a county seat.

A fae with a strong distrust of mortals and fae alike, Trevin Greenthistle is trying to find his footing and confidence as estate heir. Listless, and going through the motions the forty-five year old wants to honor his bloodline, even though he is not sure he is the most suitable. He can not deny the new mortal in town is beautiful, nor can he ignore that odd power inside of her.

When Elodie discovers what Trevor really is, and that his real name is Trevin, the pieces begin to fall faster than they can put the puzzle together. There is a new yet oddly familiar presence walking these forests and the fae are not sure what it is or if Elodie has anything to do with it. As they navigate new territory, Trevin and Elodie soon find themselves in a mad dash to save not only the Old Giants, but also each other.

Set in the old growth redwood groves of Humboldt County, California, this tale of magical realism brings found family, hidden powers and forbidden lovers to an enchanted forest filled with mystery.
