After a meteorite crashes in the Congo, the animals undergo unexpected transformations including the ability to speak with the humans. Zeus, a lion and the king of the jungle, is charged with defending his pride and others from the hyenas. With help from his friends—and some he thought were foes—he prepares for war.
As tensions in the jungle rise, Zeus is shocked to learn that he is connected to Amanda, the daughter of one of the veterinarians studying and doctoring the animals. Young Amanda is able to see through Zeus's eyes and together they learn an entirely new way to witness the world that they live in.
A prophecy deems Amanda is the key to winning the war so Zeus vows to keep her safe. However, as the battle begins, it could be Zeus who needs protecting.
Michael Huston's exciting debut novel takes the reader on an unexpected and often amusing journey as the animals and humans prepare for an intense battle.
