World-class entertainer and Sazi councilmember, Antoine
Monier has taken his big cats all over the world without
any trouble—until his latest trip to Stuttgart, where one
of his tigers is stolen and killed. To Antoine's surprise,
the German police have another tiger in custody—a tiger
who is actually a lovely Turkish-American woman, Tahira
Kuric.
Like Antoine, Tahira is a shapeshifter, but of the Hayalet
Kabile, the ghost tribe of shapeshifters. And despite
their immediate attraction, Tahira wants nothing to do
with Antoine—the Sazi are the enemy of the Hayalet Kabile.
But Tahira doesn't have a choice, because she and Antoine
have discovered that she is a fabled "power well," able to
store magical energy from other shapeshifters—and
something is hunting her, eager to use her powers for
itself.
Only if they can set aside their peoples' ancient rivalry
and rely completely on each other—body and soul—can Tahira
and Antoine save themselves and their people.
