Shawn works
a job he really doesn’t like; he always wanted to be a park ranger, or in a
watch tower protecting the forest, but that is never in his cards. Until the day the strange woman with a cool
sword and wolfish ears tells him his soul belongs to her. When he dies right there, working at his desk,
he is transported into a ritual of planting a seed. Then the wolf lady, Mint, explains to him his
duties as caretaker of the sacred tree and the grove around it, and everything
just evolves from there. Soon their band
of three, Mint, the Guardian of the grove, Shawn, who is now the caretaker druid,
Rud, and the sacred tree, becomes more as they help others get back on their
feet, or those who need to have a purpose. All the while, the tree grows in
height and mass, but also helps Rud grow himself.
I really
like this book, and the characters it encompasses, my favorite being Dean. Dean does a lot of things that he doesn’t
really like to do, but knows it is in everyone's best interest, so he
relents. I was lucky enough to be able
to listen to the audio version, with a wonderful voice actor, Garrett Michael
Brown, who will transport your mind right into the story like you are part of
the group helping. This is not exactly a
fastest-paced story, but it is cozy for now, at least. There is action, and there is suspense at
times, but really this is a nice get comfy in a nice chair with a warm blanket
with some tea, see what I did there, read or listen to the book, and you will.
