Darkness Calls the Tiger
In the Kachin mountains of Burma after Pearl Harbor, missionary's daughter Kailyn Moran remains at her village with newly arrived teacher Ryan McDonough as the Japanese invasion advances. A brutal attack destroys much of what Kai loves and awakens her desire to become a legendary sharaw, or tiger, who hunts those responsible. Ryan struggles to protect refugees and keep Kai from surrendering her identity to vengeance while both confront the failures and endurance of faith amid atrocity. Harrowing and redemptive, this Christian historical novel suits readers prepared for wartime violence who value missionary settings, cross-cultural history, survival, romance, and hard-won forgiveness.
