Prideland isn't what it used to be, now that a new race of Children is rising from the jungle to challenge the cats' dominance on this planet. The Children are stronger, faster, smarter, and deadlier than the cats themselves and the Children are growing up at an accelerated pace—not just in strength but in their boldness to confront the cats on their own terms.

The Children struggle to find their place somewhere between the human world that rejects them and the cats trying to wipe out every last Child on the planet. It's only a matter of time before one man comes forward to unite the Children into the formidable army that can defeat the cats and win the Children a home where they can live in peace.

This man is none other than Lieutenant Dina Dyer's son, Adrian—a hybrid who combines all of Renfroe's power and charisma with human intelligence and strategic cunning. Adrian's leadership and tenacity will sweep the planet and embroil Dina in a vicious war to the death between two unstoppable forces that refuse to make peace with each other—the cats who still want to annihilate all the Children down to the smallest babies and the Children who will fight to their last breath to grow up and make a world safe for the next generation.
