Book Description
Kathrael is a nobody - an escaped Rhytheeri slave with a face disfigured by an acid attack and a giant chip on her shoulder. Despite being alone in the world, with no possessions other than the clothes on her back, she has vowed to lead a rebellion against the brutal overseers who once owned her. First, though, she's going to murder the cowardly bastard of a shape-shifter who was prophesied to save them all, and didn't. The man who destroyed her life. She's fully prepared to die along the way, if that's what it takes. But falling in love with both a eunuch priest and a scruffy, itinerant lion-shifter? Well... admittedly, that part she really didn't see coming. Gritty and poignant, The Lion Mistress: Book 1 explores the strength of the human spirit, and the ways in which love can overcome the scars of the past. Author's note: The Lion Mistress series is a continuation of The Eburosi Chronicles, and a companion to The Horse Mistress: Books 1-4. It contains graphic violence and graphic sex (including sex between men and consensual voyeurism), along with references to underage prostitution and past miscarriage. It is intended for a mature audience.
