With that all said let the contest begin. Good Luck!

Eons ago, before the rise of human civilization, two immortal races battled the Daemons for control of the earth. The Mage, or magic ones, and the Therians, the mighty shape-shifters. Though traditional enemies, the Mage and Therians banded together to overcome the High Daemon, Satanan, ending his reign of terror and destroying his armies. The cost of victory was high. To win that ultimate battle, both races were forced to mortgage nearly all their power. Only one Therian among each of the ancient lines of shape-shifters was left with the power of his animal. Nine remain.

They are the Feral Warriors.

Lyon's Back-story from Desire Untamed


Lyon, the chief of the Feral Warriors, was born in London in 1314, the son of a Therian drunk and the human woman who died giving birth to him. Born Arthur Bannister, Lyon learned early to avoid his father's fists, especially on his birthday — the anniversary of his mother's death. On his tenth birthday, his father tried to drown him in a rain barrel and might have succeeded, had Lyon been mortal. Lyon ran, and never saw his father again.


When he was sixteen, Lyon woke to find claw marks — the mark of a Feral Warrior — on his abdomen, just above his hip bone. He didn't know what they meant. But over the course of the next few month, he developed a compelling need to follow a call he felt deep inside. The call to find Feral House. It took him almost a year to reach the Feral Warriors and their Radiant in what is now the Aquitaine region of France.


As Lyon tells Kara in Desire Untamed:

"Back in those days, the moment a new Feral arrived at Feral House, the others started calling him Mouse. It was a long running joke, but of course, I didn't know that. They swore up and down that the Feral who'd recently died, the one I'd been marked to replace, had been a mouse." He shrugged. "I was sixteen. They had me totally convinced."


"But you turned into a lion."


"I did. It was the proudest day of my life."


In 1400, the Feral Warriors and their Radiant moved to the highlands of Scotland. Twelve years later, seventeen Ferals, including their Chief, walked into a spirit trap and never returned. Lyon, second-in-command, became Chief of the Feral Warriors.


Pamela's Bio

I grew up in the Air Force. No, no, I didn’t wear little fatigues or salute my parents (although I have a snapshot of me attempting to do push-ups beside my pilot dad at age four), but as anyone in a career military household knows, it’s not just a job, it’s a life that includes the entire family and one that can provide some unique experiences. At a year old, I thought any man in an Air Force uniform was my daddy. At nine I received a government-issue set of dog tags, and at ten I rode an elephant in Bangkok and later watched an earthquake ripple like ocean waves across our front yard in the Philippines.

Unlike a lot of authors, I didn’t grow up wanting to be a writer. I didn’t even want to be a pilot like my dad. I wanted to be an astronaut. I spent hours alone in my room either reading, watching Star Trek, or imagining other worlds filled with magic, strange creatures and dashing space pirates. The dream followed me to college where I studied engineering with plans to head for NASA when I graduated. But at nineteen I woke up to the reality of the modern space program and the stars finally fell from my eyes. The Space Shuttle was never going to take me where my imagination wanted to go.

Instead, I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Industrial Engineering and went to work for a major computer manufacturer. I still devoured books (almost exclusively romances) and even tried writing one, but after the first exciting chapter I had no idea what to do with my characters. I thought I couldn’t write. In hindsight, I simply had no idea how to plot.

I set aside the dream of writing for a few years while I had babies, though I continued to create stories in my head. Then one night as I did the dinner dishes, one of those daydreams became too big to keep in my head. I had to write it down. This time, however, thanks to the recent opening of a brand new library down the street, I discovered a wealth of books on plotting and character development and realized I could learn how to turn scenes into books and craft entire stories. The process was neither fast nor easy, encompassing four manuscripts, half a dozen partials, and eleven years of hard work before I sold my first book. Fortunately, I had a lot of encouragement along the way. With my very first book I finaled for Romance Writers of America’s most prestigious award for unpublished writers, the Golden Heart. Each of my subsequent books also became a Golden Heart finalist, the third winning the award outright. The fourth, through the Golden Heart, sold.

Now I spend my days in those fascinating worlds filled with magic, excitement and dashing heroes, and my evenings with my real-life hero and two wonderful kids.

It has been a joy to have you on NN Pamela and I can't wait for the next book in the Feral Warrior series.

Happy Reading and Writing,
