5.0

Oh my holy bananas! This book was so good! I absolutely love the cover photo and I loved the story, and the magic, and just everything!

In a world where you are born under a certain animal and you are able to Step into that animal's skin, there can only be one soul within a body, else you will die. For Maniye of the Winter Runners, one tribe of many that fall under the Shadow of the Wolf, she is born with not one soul, but two. Her mother was the Queen of the Tigers, the Shadow Eaters who are the nightmare of many. Unable to decide between her two selves, she runs from her tribe, determined to make her own shadow in the world.

But when you are the daughter of two tribal chiefs, not everything goes as planned. Maniye must make her own way in the world where people are people, even in animal form. In doing so, will she be able to choose between her two heritages? Or will they destroy her in the end?
