In a world where tribes shape-shift into their totem animals, the story follows Maniye, a young girl torn between her father's Wolf clan in the North and her estranged mother's Tiger clan in the South. Struggling with her dual heritage, Maniye finds herself on a perilous journey that forces her to flee her home, pursued by those who seek to use her unique abilities for their own ends. Along the way, she gathers a diverse group of outcasts and misfits, each with their own secrets and agendas. As ancient powers stir and a long-foretold war looms on the horizon, Maniye must embrace her identity and unite the animal tribes if they are to survive the coming darkness.
