THE CAST OF CHARACTERS Lyon Tighe Paenther Jag Kougar Hawke Wulfe Vhyper Foxx
GLOSSARY OF TERMS The Cantric Daemon Blade Daemons Feral Warriors Goddess Stone Going feral Mage Stay in your skin Therians CHARACTER BACKSTORIES Lyon, the chief of the Feral Warriors, was born in London in 1314, the son of a Therian drunk and the human woman who died giving birth to him. Born Arthur Bannister, Lyon learned early to avoid his father's fists, especially on his birthday — the anniversary of his mother's death. On his tenth birthday, his father tried to drown him in a rain barrel and might have succeeded, had Lyon been mortal. Lyon ran, and never saw his father again. When he was sixteen, Lyon woke to find claw marks — the mark of a Feral Warrior — on his abdomen, just above his hip bone. He didn't know what they meant. But over the course of the next few month, he developed a compelling need to follow a call he felt deep inside. The call to find Feral House. It took him almost a year to reach the Feral Warriors and their Radiant in what is now the Aquitaine region of France. As Lyon tells Kara in Desire Untamed:
In 1400, the Feral Warriors and their Radiant moved to the highlands of Scotland. Twelve years later, seventeen Ferals, including their Chief, walked into a spirit trap and never returned. Lyon, second-in-command, became Chief of the Feral Warriors.
Tighe was born in Denmark in 1402 to Therian parents, and named Lars. When he was nine, his mother had a premonition of a Mage attack and took Tighe to a Therian friend who had married a human a few years before and lived in a human village. His mother promised Tighe she'd come for him as soon as the danger passed, but Tighe sensed she’d never return, and she never did. A few months later, the Therian died mysteriously of what he would later believe to have been Mage magic. Of his Therian enclave, he alone had been spared. When Tighe was fifteen, a human niece of his foster father's came to live with them. Her name was Gretchen and Tighe fell in love. They married three years later and had one child, a daughter, Amalie. The children of a mortal-immortal union can be either, and Amalie was mortal. When Amalie was five, Tighe woke with the marks of a Feral Warrior across his chest after a strange dream. The next time he looked on his wife with desire, his eyes changed to those of an animal, a tiger, terrifying her. Tighe only vaguely understood what was going on – he hadn’t been around Therians since he was a young boy. But Gretchen never gave him the chance to explain, believing he was a demon. The villagers ran him out of town and he never saw his wife or daughter again. A year and a half later, he found the Feral Warriors and their Radiant deep in the highlands of Scotland and shifted fully for the first time, into a fifteen-foot Bengal tiger.
Paenther was born in 1597 into the human Tauxenent tribe on the Potomac. His mother was human, his father was half-Therian and immortal. At his birth, his Tauxenent grandmother, the tribe's seer, predicted he would someday walk the earth as both panther and man. He was named Black Panther. He lived with the tribe until his mother’s death when he was thirty-one. His father thought it time for him to learn the ways of the Therians and they needed his help protecting the enclaves against the Mage who had followed the Therians across the Atlantic from Europe. In 1738, Black Panther was marked as the next Feral Warrior, his feral marks appearing across one eye. But as he made his way to Feral House, he came upon a young woman being accosted by two men. He came to her aid, only to discover he'd fallen into a trap. The lovely young woman, Ancreta, was a Mage witch determined to pry his animal spirit from his body. For long months he endured her torture alongside two other newly-marked Ferals, one of whom would become Vhyper. After the third Feral died, Black Panther and Vhyper managed to escape and make their way to Feral House where Black Panther was given the Feral name Paenther. But the damage done to him by Ancreta never fully healed. And his hatred of all things Mage burned inside him like a never-ending flame.

Eons ago, before the rise of human civilization, two immortal races battled the Daemons for control of the earth. The Mage, or magic ones, and the Therians, the mighty shape-shifters. Though traditional enemies, the Mage and Therians banded together to overcome the High Daemon, Satanan, ending his reign of terror and destroying his armies. The cost of victory was high. To win that ultimate battle, both races were forced to mortgage nearly all their power. Only one Therian among each of the ancient lines of shape-shifters was left with the power of his animal. Nine remain. 
The lion-shifter is the leader of the Feral Warriors. He's a serious and driven chief with no time to waste on emotion or love. Until the right woman walks into his life.
