A cub orphaned in a forbidden lion massacre is raised in exile to become the fastest cheetah alive—and the living proof of a murdered truce—so he can outrun death, outwit an empire, and drag the war-criminal general who shattered his world into the light.
In the savannah, lions and cheetahs ended generations of war with one sacred law: stay on your own land.
General Clawpus broke it in a single night, erasing an entire cheetah clan to satisfy his hunger for battle. Only two-month-old Shingi and his mother Nothando escape into the forest. There she forges her son into an instrument of reckoning—part weapon, part witness—training him to weaponize speed itself.
Two years later, Shingi and his sharp-witted friend Tau break the tree-line for the first time, racing toward the distant Cheetah King to expose Clawpus’s crime and restart a war—on their terms.
But the lions are watching, the jungle is rigged with teeth, and every stride Shingi takes pulls him closer to a choice: save the fragile peace, or become the monster he swore to destroy.
