Nyx Keller’s final hunt should have been her last. Instead of prison, she receives an impossible choice: exile to the Beastworld (a  dimension ruled by shapeshifting predators) or rot in a cell for forty years. Armed with nothing but her wits and a monitoring chip implanted in her spine, Nyx sets foot in a realm that slaughtered humans three centuries ago.

She’s not supposed to survive there but the Lion King has other plans.

Raziel Ashmane is fascinated by the human who refuses to bow. When he claims Nyx as his own, it ignites a firestorm of political intrigue, ancient grudges, and a connection that defies three hundred years of bloodshed.

But Nyx has her own plan as well:  surviving, taming the Nightstalker, and building an army from the outcasts; the ones the Kings deemed worthless.


But Beastworld isn’t just one kingdom, it has five kingdoms. Each ruled by a king who wants Nyx dead and for themselves.

Surviving there will require more than sharp instincts.

Nyx read the situation. This wasn't hypothetical. This was her actual situation.  


The questions aren't what they seem. Look for what's really being asked.


"I need clarification." Nyx said. "What are my tactical advantages? What's the terrain? What resources do I have access to?"


"Assume defensible terrain, standard fortifications, and resources are minimal required by a force. The details are deliberately vague, you must make strategic decisions with incomplete information."
