The Wood Wakes : Book One: Roane

All Roane ever wanted was a family to call her own. Orphaned at age 11, she has spent the past three years being passed from one foster home to the next. All that abruptly ends though, when, under the guise of his non-profit organization, billionaire Gregory Sterling whisks her off to his estate in the little town of Mystisk Skov. Roane can't believe her good fortune. But when she arrives at her new home, she starts to notice all is not what it seems. There is no family, just a large, lonely mansion in the middle of nowhere. The few servants present barely talk to her and she is required to follow a strict set of rules enforced by Miss Westin, the head of the house. Things become even stranger when she meets Corbian, a mysterious man with dark secrets and unexplainable magical powers. When she discovers she's the only person who knows of his existence, she begins to search for the real reason she was brought to Mystisk Skov. Believing she is only being used as a philanthropic publicity stunt by her billionaire guardian, her world comes crashing down when Corbian reveals the nightmarish truth behind her adoption. When Roane learns the real connection between Corbian and Gregory Sterling, she finally understands she is just one in a long line of girls who have suffered the same fate. Refusing to be their next victim, Roane struggles to find an escape, but her time is running out. When she stumbles onto a hidden clue, she realizes it just may be the answer to defeating the wicked Gregory Sterling. But will there be enough time left to destroy her enemy and can she find the strength to overcome Corbian's mystical powers?
