Treasure is in the eye of the beholder and the soul of those who secret it away, its siren song too tempting for a will-o’-the wisp like Grayson Delarue to ignore.

Called to the Magical Usage Council, Grayson is amazed by the myriad melodies competing for his attention. Is there such a thing as too much treasure? Before walking into the Magical Usage Council, Grasyon would have said no. Now he’s not so certain, and the type of treasure singing to him could tear his fragile wisp form apart.
Planted within the soil of the Magical Usage Council compound, Martin Durand, as an oak dryad, can’t physically leave his birth soil for long stretches of time. Stoic, sturdy, and solid, Martin will support what’s left of his family—those members the former director, Tenzen Huxley left alive. Even when the decision of one of his closest friends brings an untrustworthy will-o’-the-wisp into their lives.

Treasure isn’t always what it seems, and some treasure’s value is found in its destructive force. Dryads and will-o’-the-wisps have a long-standing tradition of well-earned animosity. Martin soon finds he needs to set aside that animosity to stabilize Grayson’s wisp form in order to find the dangerous treasure Huxley hid within the depths of the compound.
Each discovery is more disturbing than the last. Tenzen Huxley’s betrayal reaches beyond his slumbering grave, threatening those who remain.

Martin has always wondered what a dryad can do to protect those he loves. The answer might destroy him, but the sacrifice is worth the cost to protect the wondrous will-o’-the wisp he’s come to love—his very own treasure.

Dryad’s Treasure is the second book in the Magical Usage Council Misadventures series. Dryad’s Treasure features a stubbornly loyal oak dryad, an unapologetic, treasure seeking will-o’-the-wisp, a diminutive house dweller that believes wisdom withers with height, beautifully mysterious wyvern eggs that hold the key to the Magical Usage Council’s destruction, treasure that comes in all shapes, forms, sizes, and intentions, a ferret shifter trying to avoid becoming a djinn’s pet, ghostly apparitions, dealing with past betrayals, and discovering what one is willing to sacrifice for their found family. Dryad’s Treasure ends with a HEA.
