Wolf Defender launched The Defenders series in 2021, extending Guida’s Legacy Academy universe beyond the school setting and into the wider supernatural world those characters inhabit. The fated mates premise, where the bond between two people is not a matter of choice, gives the romance a different shape than the slow-burn academy romances, moving faster from attraction to consequence.
The book sits at the intersection of wolf shifter mythology and the broader supernatural hierarchy Guida built across her Legacy Academy connected works. Characters familiar from that universe appear alongside the Defenders’ own cast, giving the book grounding in an established world while introducing new dynamics.
Only one book in the series had been published as of 2021. For readers working through the Legacy Academy extended universe, Wolf Defender fits naturally after the main academy arcs and their direct spin-offs.
