The Raven and the Dancing Tiger - The Shadow Wars Trilogy, #1

Only three things interest Peter: dancing, romancing, hiding his raven soul and his ability to shapeshift into a bird. As a raven warrior, Peter copes with the modern world through strict training and even stricter secrecy. Until Peter meets Tamara, and senses her difference. Her specialness. He learns, too late, that secrets consume her as well. As a tiger warrior, what's Tamara's main interest? Killing raven warriors. The Raven and the Dancing Tiger-the first novel in the Shadow Wars Trilogy-introduces readers to this fascinating shadowy world with its own magic and laws.
Be sure to read the final two novels in the trilogy: The Guardian Hound and War Among the Crocodiles.
