Tiger, Tiger

More about the book

Two tiger cubs are snatch from their native jungle and shipped to Rome. On arrival at this strange land crowded with noisy "two-legs" they are cruelly separated. One cub becomes the princess's pampered adored house pet. The other, fiercer, cub is trained to become the star performer in Caesar's bloodthisty circus. Princess Aurelia detests her father's brutal "sport," but must keep her feelings secret - no one dares criticise the almighty Caesar! The only person she can confide in is the slave Julius, her tiger's keeper. But such a friendship is equally forbidden: should the Emperor find out, his anger would be terrible and the punishment severe. But friendship and love cannot be dictated, and neither tiger nor man is destined for a life in chains. In a world dominated by Caesar's will, all must fight for freedom.
