A beautiful book inside and out. Wilder Legacy rounds out the Guardian series as the best of the bunch - from cover to story. There is a popular quote that fits well with this book. "You were given this life because you are strong enough to live...

The kind of story that shatters all predictions from readers and holds so many surprises, you won't be able to guess what happens next. You know what they say about when you assume things. I fell into that trap before I picked up book three in...
