Is this death? I asked.
This is love, replied the tiger.
Magic apprentice Abalone has just saved the world from the wrath of underwater dragons.
But her triumph is short-lived-her father, the great alchemist, demands she marry, expecting her to resign herself to a life of embroidered robes, quiet obedience, and managing household affairs. Abalone, however, has far wilder ambitions. Her heart burns to master fire magic, unravel forbidden rituals, and pursue the ancient mysteries that ignite her very soul.
So, on the night of the legendary Dragon Boat Festival, she escapes into the mountains under the cover of darkness. It is a time when dark demons and ancient dragons stir from their deep slumber. To protect herself from the creatures that haunt the night, Abalone dons the guise of a tiger.
But deep within the mountains, beneath the shadowed sky, she meets the burning gaze of a spirit tiger-a being whose heart is as untamed and enigmatic as the magic she seeks.
Romantic, dark, and steeped in ancient mystery.
Abalone and the Spirit Tiger is a tale that refuses to be tamed. Set against the lush backdrop of Ancient China, it follows a heroine who defies the forces that seek to silence her. Magic, mystery, and forbidden power pulse through every page as Abalone carves a path that only she can walk.
For those who hunger for stories of fierce, unyielding women, this novel offers a journey rich with beauty and intrigue. With spectral magic and a quirky, strong-willed heroine who answers to no one but herself, Abalone and the Spirit Tiger is a bold, haunting exploration of love, courage, and transformation.
