Eve Sanchez, a scholar of esoteric studies, is driven into unreal dimensions of horror and hope as she encounters a seductive and frightening man, criminal lawyer Sam Shear. Sam introduces Eve to a supernatural world in which the wicked powers of a surrogate mother's twisted affection threaten love and life. Struggling to sort through right from wrong, frightened yet determined, Eve nears despair. Goddess of the Wild Thing reveals the dramatic tale of one woman's spiritual journey where metaphysical happenings, unexpected turns of fate, and unseen forces impact her ability to love and be loved. In the magical realm of Aztlan del Sur, a mythopoeic land of hidden horrors and guiding spirits, Eve, with three friends and a wise old woman, is caught in an age-old struggle about love-whether bad love is better than no love- and discovers that love is a wild thing.
