Rowan is a Watcher—protector of Elderglen, guardian of its borders, and the last line of defense against what lurks in the woods. When grief left her hollow, she begged the forest goddess Rhiann to make her wolfkind—faster, stronger, wilder. A Guardian of the Forest.
But now something dark hunts those she’s sworn to protect.
Some are found drained of blood, others frozen in terror. It doesn’t take long for whispers to rise like Rowan isn’t strong enough. Rowan can’t protect them.
The villagers don’t know she’s also the heir to Feather and Claw, a secret network founded by her grandmother whose sole purpose is to destroy a murderous cult targeting anyone with magic. When her grandmother dies, Rowan becomes the Cornerstone, leader of the resistance.
Another title to bear, another weight to carry.
With a stranger at her door, a brother gone missing, and traitors within, Rowan must untangle the lies before everything burns. She’s sworn to protect Elderglen, but the forest is calling her deeper—and wilder—than ever before.
Watcher. Guardian. Cornerstone.
But all she wants is the freedom to run.
Wild things deserve to thrive.
Filled with feminine rage and wild hope, leap into the fourth adventure in The Dark Library Series, where tempers burn and grudges simmer.

So this is probably my fault for jumping into a series on book 4, but I swear I saw somewhere that you didn’t need to read the first three books. I was generally confused about how this world is structured which left me disinterested in the story. The storyline I think would be good if I understood what was happening, so maybe I’ll come back to this series at some point.
