Deep in South India lies a jungle kingdom that has inspired legends. Kabini, nestled within the Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, is home to a rogue confederation of animal tribes—each vying for territory, power, and resources.
Now, a new king is on the rise. His name is Saya, and he’s the only black panther in this jungle. Hidden in the bone-dark forest, the shadows are his only ally. Lineage doesn’t favor him, but he’s got cunning, grit, and a plan to claim Kabini as his kingdom.
