Brandy Svensson a widow who lost her husband when he was killed in Afghanistan, acquired an unusual ability after she experienced a near-death experience. She's able to communicate with cats, she can hear their thoughts and since her skills as a telepath are limited she usually responds verbally. When she gets information that a cat is lost and may be hurt out near a highway she goes to find it and get help for it. She is surprised when the animal is a baby panther but not one that shes ever seen. With plans to call a zoo to see if one of their animals is missing she takes it home. She can communicate with it are understands that it is a baby.During the night Brandy wakes when she thinks she hears a baby cry, she finds the panther cub is gone and a baby boy is in its place. Brandy is shocked but takes the child to her room and bathes it. Now she really doesn't know what to do. As a panther it can probably hurt her but as a baby she can't turn it over to a zoo.The next day a grown panther turns up at her home, she realizes that the baby knows the panther, she can hear it talking, calling it Dak, she's shocked when it (the grown panther) morphs into an adult male who is huge. Dak explains who he is and how he and Favel his nephew got to earth, they need to return to their home world Ferix immediately, or others will think he killed his nephew to become the king because Favel is the infant King of his klatch and needs to be returned home. Brandy provides a temporary home, food and any help she can give.I loved this story, it was well written and up to her usual standards. I thought Favel was cute and as always the animals were great. Robin Owens is one of my favorite authors.
