    About this ebook

    “Bite her! Do it, now, before it is too late, before I lose her forever.”
    The animal placed one of its huge paws around my neck, holding my head with the gentlest of touches. Lips as soft as silken fabric brushed past my ear, producing a feeling of euphoria as sensual as the anticipation of a first kiss. The lion did not kiss me, though. The glorious beast opened its mouth wider, exposing my skin to its teeth, and bit into me.

    It was at this moment that Katherine Chamber’s mundane middle-aged existence would move quietly into the super-natural world of the lion hybrids- ancient Assyrian warriors keeping age old necromancer demons from destroying the human race and their mentor Issy, the lion. Katherine’s human life would continue but she would not. Instead she would open her eyes ten hours later to a new world whose tale of sibling rivalry would span thousands of years and one in which she would eventually become the unwillingly heroine that would save them all.

    DENITA POWELL MALVERN Denita Powell Malvern is a non-profit professional with 20+ years of museum, nonprofit & education experience. She obtained her B.A. in History from Wittenberg University and her M.Ed. in Education Administration from Xavier University (Cincinnati, OH). Denita is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and other community, civic and public media organizations. She is a published author and poet. Her interests include education, public policy, social issues, community engagement, history, arts and culture. She is always looking for new opportunities to consult and conduct workshops for churches, nonprofits and community organizations. Her latest title, Summertime, a collaboration with illustrator Karen Ann Colbert, is an inclusive, multicultural ABC book filled with colorful illustrations of children engaging in fun summer activities. Children will use the alphabet to learn about rhyming words, patterns and alliteration.   KAREN ANN COLBERT At the age of 21, I took an art class that inspired me to pursue the arts. I decided to become an art teacher because I wanted to expose young children to their own personal journey through art-making. I love painting, drawing and sculpting. I love to see when a blank canvas collides with a brush and transforms into a masterpiece. I love to see when a lump of clay collides with hands and becomes a wonderful constructed form. I love to see when the imagination collides with creativity and becomes brilliance. Art gives me life and more importantly an outlet to be expressive and to let go of the stresses of life. My personal art-making experiences, teaching art, and watching others create art has allowed me the freedom to be expressive and creative without feeling intimidated by what others think. Creating art can sometimes feel overwhelming to complete or to share with others. This art represents my passion to just make art. Art has also been a catalyst which ignites my passion to help others as well. I pray my work inspires others to feel passionate and love to pursue their own talents and dreams.
