TIGERS TONGUE (2022)

Heed the tiger's tongue, and you will not be led astray. Under the militant rule of The Tiger's People, empowered by their animal familiars, the Claw is on the brink of war. At the precipice of adulthood, twin princesses Kelindi and Aridani hold the future of the Claw in their hands. Kelindi would sue for peace with The River's People, those who were subjugated "to bring order," while Aridani has never aspired to rule. But an ancient prophecy is revealed that'll force fate's hand for the sisters...

Twin princesses Kelindi and Aridani must compete in three trials to fulfill an ancient prophecy and decide who will inherit the Claw's throne. The first trial, the Trial of Mind, forces Kelindi and Aridani to navigate a treacherous forest that reveals uncomfortable truths of The Tiger's People's rise to power.

With the first trial complete, The Tiger's People are one step closer to see who between twin princesses Kelindi and Aridani will inherit the throne, especially as The River's People grow more emboldened to rebel. As the trials continue with the Trial of Spirit, Kelindi's weak connection to her ancestral power gives Aridani an unexpected pathway to new abilities.

The Tiger's People await with bated breath to see who between Kelindi and Aridani will emerge victorious in the final trial, the Trial of Body, in which the twin sisters must battle. Kelindi still sees hope for a peaceful resolution, but Aridani has a new vision for the future, one that may require Kelindi's removal.

The Trials have finished, and a new monarch reigns over The Claw, ushering in a new era that both The Tiger's People and The River's People find uneasy. As tensions rise, Kelindi and Aridani barrel towards the ancient prophecy's shocking conclusion, one that will change The Claw forever.
