Synopsis

Selvi is a free spirit who loves exploring the beautiful mountains behind her home.

There, she has befriended Lokka, a leopard with a gorgeous coat and huge golden eyes. Together they roam the wilderness as they please. But when hunters come with bows and arrows, Selvi knows she must stop them before they hurt Lokka.

But what can she do against such powerful enemies, especially when the friends and family she turns to for help are not all they seem to be? To rescue her leopard friend, first Selvi must outwit the poachers and expose the mastermind behind it all.

With breezy chapters and lush, atmospheric settings, this fast-paced actionadventure is a superb pick for young readers who enjoy stories with peril, unlikely friendships, and close encounters with the natural wild.
