Her mother is a princess. Her father is a leopard. Her allies are the wild hunting beast of the night. Seeking vengeance against the man who betrayed her tribe, Jeneba ride into unknow forests haunted by invisible demons, murderous spirits, shapeshifting creatures and wizard's curses... only to find that she must join her quest to another. For the fabled city Yagana has vanished in a clap of thunder, leaving its people helpless before an invading horde. And an ancient prophecy decrees that to save Yagana, Jeneba must lead a coward, a traitor, and a monster. Past cannibal armies, an insane demigod, a hideous messenger of death, and into the cavernous bowels of the underworld... to find a mystic lost harp carved from a dead man's bones. If Jeneba fails, it will cost her the lives of her party, the freedom of whole tribes, the fate of an empire -- and, as important.. her honor as a warrior.
