Shadows of Lions

Author: Scarlette Pike

Catherine Kensington is in the midst of high society Regency era. She is an unmarried heiress with accomplishment, wit, and grace. But very few are aware she has recently returned from Africa in a desperate attempt to escape her murderous mother who sits far too close on the chaise. No one suspects Lady Kensington of violence, however, not even Catherine's soul mate Captain Ashmore. Sarah Hope also sits among them dizzily longing for intrigue and adventure but is soon overwhelmed when she unwittingly throws herself into the midst of the Kensington's trouble. And Mebalwe stands alert in the corner, but he is no ordinary serving man, he is an African warrior, sent to protect Catherine from all that threatens to kill her.

Shadows of Lions follows the internal dialogue of four strong characters. As their experiences swirl together it becomes more clear that the answer to all the struggle and hurt lies with a young Scottish girl named Amelia. Only by knowing Amelia can they all have what they want. Only Amelia can save them.
