The Tiger Master

Jed Henderson is a Southern boy with little to no aspiration. He’s fine with working on his family’s farm from the day of his birth to the day he finally meets his maker, and he knows that that will most likely be the way his life’s story plays out. Even when Jed discovers his incredible talent for acrobatics, he doesn‘t sway from his mindset. He knows better than anyone else the life he was destined to live, and doesn’t expect anything more.

In contrast, Katia Betina has always been unsatisfied with her life. Ever since her family moved from Russia to America, Katia has felt out of place. She doesn't eat well, has refused to learn English, and is failing her classes in school. Now that she’s fifteen, things are looking even darker -- Katia’s family has lost their wealth, and the only thing Katia lives for -- the ballet lessons she has been taking since the age of two -- might be no more.

But when a man -- a beautiful, mysterious, ferocious man -- gives each a ticket to Dealen and Metzker’s Fantastical Street Circus and a promise of wonderful things to come, the temptation for both is just too much to resist.

And thus begin’s the fabulous life of The Tiger Prince and The Tigress. A life that is wonderful, but too good to be true. As Jed and Katia delve deeper into their strange new lives, they also uncover the secrets of their circus and ringmaster that should've been left untouched, and are catapulted into a mystery that only they can figure out.

That is, if they can survive long enough to solve it.
