Publisher's Synopsis
Beautiful Kaitlin has recently married oil expert Paul Maverick and left her thriving life in Toronto in order to accompany him in his professional post amongst a scenic yet slower-paced life in Stavanger, Norway. As newlywed bliss subsides faster than expected, however, and (without work and friends) she is left with little to do other than wait for her husband to come home, Kaitlin almost dreams into existence the excitement she finds running into handsome Finn and his peculiar group of friends--who work and live in the Scandinavian woods.
The thrill of keeping what she feels is an innocent secret of both professional and leisurely playtime--exploring nature and talking philosophy with these new people in her life- soon turns into something more wicked, however, as Kaitlin discovers sinister intentions behind their friendly façade, and even otherworldliness, after their actions make her ponder whether or not they're even human.
Who are these 'forest beings' that entice so much yet reveal so little? Was it chance that brought them into her life or did they purposely seek her out? Why is Paul so affected by the news of a murdered young woman on TV? What will happen when those closest to her find out about her lies to meet with The Group in secret? And, more importantly, what will Kaitlin learn about her own true character?
