Forgive me, Igni, for I have sinned. I laid with a wolf, and now their Elders have ordered my death. Shunned by the convent that raised me, with precious few allies left, my mate and I must raise an army while evading the death squads sent to sniff us out. Both panther and wolf must set aside generational grudges to expose the Elders' corruption before the solar ascension. Time ticks on. The days grow long, the nights recede, and our options grow slim. The final war is coming. We all have our parts to play, and one wrong move could end the panther tribe and secure the Elders' hold on the wolves.
