The Legend Of The Tigress

Everyone in the galaxy knows the legend of the Tigress, the mysterious striped-haired woman whose sole mission is to overthrow the tyrannical empire of the Dragon. Even Jaseff Terrod, a small-town mechanic from the backwater world of Orile Minor, is familiar with the story. But little does he realize he is about to become a major character in the Tigress's tale. When his homeworld is assaulted by the Dragon's forces, Jaseff and six year-old Adank Keppler are the lone survivors of the deadly attack, and they end up joining the Tigress's band of elite warriors. But Jaseff soon learns that nothing is what it seems in this galaxy-including the Tigress herself. Tightly written and full of surprising twists, The Legend of the Tigress delivers a thrilling tale of the continual battle between good and evil.
