The Bear and the Serpent (Echoes of the Fall, Band 2)

The south is in turmoil, as terror emerges in the north
Maniye, child of both Wolf and Tiger clans, is now Champion of her people. But they're unsure if she's an asset or a threat. So she joins Prince Tecuman's warband of outcasts and travels south, to help win his crown. However, they're heading into a brutal civil war.
As Tecuman and his twin sister battle for the throne, Maniye must withstand the political storm. But danger shadows her old home too. Lord Thunder and his bear clan are attempting to unite the northern tribes, but only extreme peril will end age-old rivalries. An adversary from ancient times is preparing to strike, putting lands and souls in danger. And neither north nor south will be spared the terror to come.
