Tamer

From debut author Jill Farr, Tamer, the first book in the Tamer Trilogy, is a fairy tale for grown-ups, set solidly in a very real world of loss, love, and magic. When Jane Ruby leaves her boyfriend, packs up her life, and drives north for the funeral of her beloved aunt, she thinks that it's just another crushing loss, another failed relationship...another series of defeats in a life that's always felt as if she's on the outside looking in. But when she arrives at Ridgeline, Oregon, and meets her aunt's partner and his son, she learns that she's a part of a world within the world, where shapeshifters, seers, and women called tamers co-exist and navigate a life hidden from mortal eyes, in plain sight.

Jane's beliefs about herself, her children, and the family that created her are challenged by this revelation, which comes alongside another one; there are forces actively seeking to destroy her and others like her, that may have caused her aunt's death.

The journey to understand her personal story in the bigger picture, and the history of her newfound heritage takes place alongside the struggle to stay alive and protect those she loves from those who would harm them.
