[Sandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not a simple panther shifter story. This is much more monumental. Gods and Goddesses and temples and virgins.

Maia, an orphan born in a temple, sent to live as a panther-hunter when she is 7, grows into a young woman, who is a gifted hunter.

On a panther hunt she kills the sacred white panther to save her companions and everything changes.

The author packed a lot into the novella but I think she needed a better editor as there were some basic mistakes in grammar and formatting.

Will look out for further books by Ms Wilcox.
