“Stacy stepped into the forest and immediately took a deep breath of the pine- and spruce-scented air she’d come to love. She’d seen pictures in books and newspapers of countries and cities around the world. She’d seen photos of tropical islands and beaches and mountain biomes. But she couldn’t imagine any biome more beautiful than their taiga forest.”
― Stacy Plays, Guardians of the Taiga

“STACY RAN AFTER Addison into the cave. Even when the light began to disappear behind her, she kept going—finding her footing in the dark.”
― StacyPlays, Expedition on the Tundra

“Pipsqueak. She hoped the cub would still be alive when she returned. Then she pulled on her leather boots, grabbed her bow and quiver of arrows, and ran after her magical wolves—out of the cave and into the dark, dark night.”

“My name is Stacy. If you are reading this, then you have also discovered the secret I discovered—and that my mother first discovered—of a new wolf species. I implore you to keep this secret and join me in my fight to protect them and use their powers for good in the world. I have no doubt that the wolves you are with have changed your life, the way my life was forever changed by Everest, Basil, Addison, Noah, Tucker, Wink, Atlas, Ribsy, Paisley, and Pearl. They’ve given me a purpose and a love for the natural planet and the animals in it. They’ve given me a family of pets to care for and who care for me. I don’t know where I will be when you are reading this, as I expect my work with the wolves to take me on many adventures all over the world. But I hope you will join me. Join me in being a guardian of the forest and a sentinel of the ocean. Join me . . . in being a wild rescuer.”

“with watching over Pipsqueak while she and the others attended to another animal who needed rescuing in the taiga. It had turned out to be a false alarm—an old opossum who was playing . . . well, who had been pretending to be asleep.”

“R-E-S-C-U-E,” Stacy said with a gasp, suddenly realizing why everyone looked so anxious. “Oh my . . . we have our first ocean rescue!”

“Today is a dark day. We returned to the tundra to discover that Diamond went into labor earlier than we anticipated. She is dead. Two pups are also dead, but one survived. Somehow. Ames is missing. We suspect he left when things took a turn for the worse during the birthing, hoping to find us. I cannot fully express the pain of discovering such a grisly scene in a place that has also brought me so much joy over the last decade. We will continue looking for Ames and introduce the surviving pup to the taiga pack in a few weeks when he is stable and can eat meat. His eyes are open already. They are a beautiful rust brown. We’ve named him Garnet.”

“Stacy, Everest, Basil, Noah, Wink, and Tucker all gathered around the runes Addison had drawn into the snow. Stacy looked at them for a moment and then turned to survey the wolves’ expressions. Everest was studying them intently, desperately wanting to understand. Basil’s eyes darted around wildly, but it didn’t look to Stacy like she could read them either. Tucker and Noah looked equally perplexed. Wink appeared downright baffled. “Addi, we can’t read this,” Stacy said softly, not wanting to hurt Addison’s feelings. “I wish we could, but only you can.”

“hunting near their cave, so she’d thought it was safe to resume their daily outings. Stacy always accompanied the wolves during the day, though. She figured that no farmer would shoot one of her wolves if a little girl was standing right next to it. Hopefully, they would assume she was just out walking her large dogs.”

“She also had a mysterious rune she had copied down from the explorer’s base that she had finished decoding only a few hours ago. Translated, it read:”

“Spent the day with the male on the tundra, exercising his abilities, several of which have developed since I’ve come to live here. My current hypothesis is this new (or ancient?) species of wolves develop and deepen their powers throughout their lives. Whether they are born with them or they evolve, it is unclear, and I do not expect to know until our first litter of pups are born. His abilities are extraordinary—he can summon fire, freeze and unfreeze ice under his paws and, what is perhaps his strongest and oldest ability, he is able to show me past events by triggering memories in my mind—memories that are not even mine, but are his. I’ve taken to calling him Ames—short, of course, for Amethyst.”

“There was barely enough food for everyone. Stacy was positive each wolf could have eaten at least triple the portion she doled out, but the new wolves seemed grateful, and everyone finished their meals . . . even the Brussels sprouts.”

“Stacy looked at Everest and he nodded. It’s too windy on this island to camp here. It would be a constant struggle for Atlas to manage. And . . . I have a bad feeling about this place. I can’t explain it. It’s like . . . like people have died here.”
