Tiger-shifter Grio has one job, locating dormant tiger-shifters and introducing them to the world of Saffron Tigers. When he finds Professor Phoenix Lamoure, he soon discovers that Headquarters got a couple of key points wrong--Phoenix isn't actually a professor, but he is Saffron Tiger royalty, a member of the lost royal line.
Phoenix didn't have things easy growing up. His mother spent most of her life in a mental institution, and he spent his formative years in foster care. When a stranger approaches and tries to unearth his family history, Phoenix becomes wary. And when the stranger actually kidnaps him, all bets are off!
Can Phoenix ever believe what Grio has to tell him? Or will he be forever convinced that he's as crazy as his mother?
