When a lion at a breeding park mauls an old school friend of his, Con must step in as the keeper of Sekhmet, the last remaining black-maned lioness in the world.

And while Con grows steadily more bonded to his enigmatic charge, a cult of animal lovers seek to claim her as their own.

Media Reviews
'Rose-Innes is a writer almost in the Virginia Woolf mould - lateral of mind and poetic in her style of narration.' Sunday Times (SA); 'I love Henrietta Rose-Innes' work. With plotlines that are wittily subversive and language that is whippet-lean, it is long overdue for discovery by a wider readership.' Patrick Gale
