The Felinae, book #1
In a world where the legacy of Onza, the goddess of women, is fading, Jule Toledo seeks its former glory back. But in the middle of dealing with her family's despise and a new mission that can help with Onza's reputation, she finds herself entangled with a treasure hunter. A smart and easy on the eyes one, at that.
Fergus Carrillo is seeking the tome of Onza to pay a life debt to his father, even though he's gone. Together with his bodyguard Phineas, he travels to Libera and hires a beautiful, snarky guide that can take them through Pietra in search for the exact place where the tome rests.
He just doesn't need to know she wants the tome for herself...
A weird feeling something's not right doesn't budge from his mind, and the way Jule keeps provoking him to act so not like him almost drives him insane.
Will they find a hint of something else between all those fights?
Will they find the tome and allow its magic to slip into them?

Yet Verzemeg did not share the same opinion. How would the conflict between Hazar and Verzemeg resolve? This was only the beginning of their story.
