How Wild Hunt Legacy Began
Cherise Sinclair, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author known for her emotionally charged BDSM romances, ventured into paranormal territory with Wild Hunt Legacy in 2011. Inspired by her love for complex characters and mythical worlds, Sinclair created the Daonain, a secretive shapeshifter race navigating a human-dominated landscape. The series began with Hour of the Lion, introducing Cold Creek—a small town brimming with supernatural charm—and set the stage for a saga that balances romance with high-stakes danger.
Sinclair’s goal was to weave tales of healing and belonging, drawing from her fascination with community dynamics and the resilience of the human (and shifter) spirit. Her background in crafting intense, emotional narratives shines through, making the series a standout in the paranormal romance genre.
The Heart of Wild Hunt Legacy
The series kicks off with Hour of the Lion (2011), where ex-Marine Victoria Morgan stumbles into Cold Creek and discovers her own shifter heritage while falling for two irresistible brothers, Alec and Calum. Winter of the Wolf (2012) follows Bree, a foster care survivor, as she navigates love and danger with two protective shifters. Eventide of the Bear (2016) tells Emma’s story, a banished werebear finding redemption and romance. The latest, Bonds of the Wolf (2024), features Moya, a bookstore owner overcoming her past with two battle-hardened shifter soldiers.
At its core, Wild Hunt Legacy explores themes of found family, healing from trauma, and the power of love to mend broken hearts. Set in the lush, moonlit forests of the Pacific Northwest, the series blends small-town charm with supernatural stakes. Sinclair’s signature style—slow-burn romances that ignite into steamy ménages, paired with action-packed plots involving government conspiracies like the Scythe—keeps readers hooked. The Daonain’s struggle to protect their kind from human threats adds a layer of suspense, while the emotional depth of each character’s journey resonates long after the final page.
Each book introduces new heroes and heroines, often revisiting beloved characters from earlier installments, creating a rich, interconnected world. Fans praise Sinclair’s ability to balance spicy romance with heartfelt storytelling, making Cold Creek a place you’ll never want to leave.
