Sapling - Paperback

Erica and Xander may have solved the mystery of Keith's death and even eliminated the cause, but that doesn't mean their problems are over. Alden is furious with Erica for sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Kriners is ramping up logging operations and winning the goodwill of the residents of Juniper Falls. And no one, not even Granny, seems to believe Erica and Xander can make their relationship work.

When Derek is threatened by his family in Kodiak, he challenges Xander to explore the extent of his abilities. But harnessing the power of the forest may come at the cost of his humanity.

With Erica due to start college in January, she and Xander are running out of time to decide what they want: a little life together or big futures apart.
