Blood of the Lioness

Living as a male slave to escape persecution, Rowan never expects to awaken a hidden Spirit Bloodline—until she saves Lion King Kairos from a fatal Beast-Curse. Locked in a fiery battle of wills and longing, they cross the line between human and beast. Uniting against the Wolf Clan's plot, Rowan rises from bondage to become the Lion Queen, sovereign over every creature.
