ECHOISCRINGELY
Born beneath the roots of an acacia tree, Shifter was never like the other hares. While her kin hid from danger, she felt the call of the hunt in her heart - and carried a secret that could change everything.
Gifted with the power to shapeshift, Shifter lives between two worlds: one of soft earth and trembling prey, and one ruled by claws, fangs, and the roar of lions. Fascinated by a nearby pride, she watches them from afar until her longing for their strength drives her to make an unthinkable choice - she steals a lion cub, takes its place, and steps into a life built on lies.
As seasons pass, Shifter learns to hunt, to fight, and to love as one of them. But every heartbeat hides the truth: beneath her golden fur beats the heart of a hare. When the secrets of her past begin to stir and old ghosts return, Shifter must decide who she truly is - prey, predator... or something in between.
Set in a wild, living savanna where every creature has its place, The Lion's Shadow is a story of identity, guilt, and the desperate hunger to belong - a tale for readers who ever wondered what they'd sacrifice to be seen as more than they were born to be.
