After rescuing an orphaned lion cub from a market, Martine falls in love instantly. She names him Tau and dreams of keeping him safe forever. But Tau already has a home - he has been stolen from one of South Africa’s most famous game reserves, and he belongs in the wild.
When Martine and her best friend Ben are invited to the reserve to help return Tau, they jump at the chance. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary animals, it feels like the perfect place for a fresh start. But beneath the beauty lie secrets - and Tau’s is the most dangerous of all.
As Martine and Ben begin to ask questions, they uncover a web of mystery and threat. There are people who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the lion cub.
