Delve into a world steeped in tradition and superstition...
After her parents become infected with the Red Death, Lucy Yeoh flees to Malaysia seeking answers.
Everything in this closed -off section of the world is paradise-- from the lush tropical climate to her sexy new neighbour, Sheng ..who just might be delusional. He claims the Plague God unleashed the Red Death and only a circle of Chinese Zodiac spirit animals can cleanse the Earth. Even more , he insists she´s one of them: the Rabbit. Long furry ears and fluffy bunny tail included.
He´ll show her how to fight to save the world...
As the Chosen of the Tiger, the burden of restoring balance to the world has fallen onto Li Sheng´s shoulders. When he discovers the ally he´s long awaited , the Dragon, is actually just the Rabbit, Sheng is quick to dismiss Lucy. If only she´d stay dismissed. Lucy´s Rabbit refuses to cooperate, undermining the authority of his Tiger at every turn...and seducing him to the limits of his darkest desires. He´s not supposed to want her. Not when he needs the spirit circle complete and she´s their weakest link.
She´ll show him a love worth fighting the world to save..
Sheng´s enemies draw closer , and not everyone wants Lucy alive. Together, they´ll have to navigate a treacherous world where a line between duty and their hearts has been drawn between them. They must either sacrifice one, or find a way to surrender to both.
In this book the spirit of the animal cloaks the person, and they can then use the animal's strength and abilities.
Lucy's parents have died, so she has travelled to Malaysia to live with her last surviving family, her uncle. He is a very wealthy man, but has his own reasons for wanting her there.
Sheng is an acquaintance of her uncle and is living in the apartment next door. He also wants something from Lucy. Something she doesn't know she has.
Sheng carries the spirit of the tiger one of the strongest. He has got a few other spirit hosts working with him to try and restore balance to the world. They have to work with the council of elders. Not all of them are on the side of the "good guys" Sheng needs to find the dragon and believes Lucy carries it. What he finds is a very scared rabbit. Lucy´s spirit animal may be a rabbit but it should not be thought of as weak.
This is a story that grabs you on the first page and doesn´t let you go until the surprising end. I can´t wait to read the following stories. I am sure there must be a few more. The secondary characters all deserve their own books.
