Publisher's summary

Assassins, traitors, and a goddess with a guiding hand culminate in more than one life-threatening secret....

Prince Walkyr d'Rojah's mission is to find an ancient artifact known as the Heart of the Cat - a powerful gem that connects his people, its magic woven through the Sarafin like his predatory cat is woven into himself. Walkyr's only clues are an ancient scroll and the legends passed down through generations. However, he isn't the only one searching for it. A sect determined to overthrow the royal families of the Sarafin, the Curizan, and the Valdier wants the gem for themselves. They are more than willing to do whatever it takes to obtain it.

Trescina Bukov's affinity with large cats has taken her all over the world, but this time, a frantic call from a rescue group compels her to fly to Wyoming in the US. A new species of leopard was discovered near death, she's told, and this "new species" sounds enough like a shape-shifter that Trescina hurries to examine this cat.

Their first meeting is explosive, and Walkyr is shocked when the human female connects with his leopard - recognizing what he is and what his weaknesses are, and this is only the beginning of how his mission has gone wrong!

The Story lacked Fire... Fun & Passion.

I found it difficult to get through the book. The other books were much better in storylines. It took til the end of the book, before they joined. I was disappointed. the lines that made me laugh. was the inner cat stating that it's better to have a mate, then an empty hole. 😂

more books

would love more books want to know what happened next when will more books come for this series

4.5 Stars..Third Book in the Series

The story begins with an attack by traitors seeking power. The betrayal of a shifter cat people..a goddess and a rescue
A story of honor/dishonor, love/hate, deception/honesty and a legend to unearth
Excited, suspense, action and the finding of a mate
The narrator is great and entertains with story and performances

Heart Of The Cat

This audio was beyond amazing, lovely feisty sassy love interest. Her banter with her cat and Rykael is hilarious, love it all.

Peanut Butter and Jelly

First of all, let me say that David Brenin and SE Smith go together like peanut butter and jelly. His readings of her stories are always so awesome.

While this addition to the Sarafin Warrior Series wasn't my favorite it was very well written. My only issue with the story was that the beginning of the story had me a tiny bit confused and took a while for me to get into it. However, it was a good story. It also ties in with The Dragon Lords of Valdier and The Curizan Warriors series. A lot of Ms. Smith books have a tie in with other series if you pay attention. At any rate, she did it once again and now I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

If you go to S E Smith's website, you will see the order of the series. You do not have to read the previous books to listen to this one but if you read the series in order it will give you a better appreciation and a complete picture of this one.

All in all, another good listen!!!

entertaining

S.E. Smith keeps you hooked from the Start. These worlds she gives us is a great escape.
