description: Conquering the Red Tongue, Ratha claims the flickering creature as her own, for no wild cat before could tame mysterious fire. But now the bold she-cat must suffer for her triumph: the jealous leader of her clan orders her into exile. Banished, Ratha ventures to the enemy's domain, where she must at every turn outwit predators who stalk her. With no one to protect her, no one to trust, Ratha must gather strength and cunning to survive.
