Sita must help save her jungle-but she can't do it alone.
Deep in India's Ranthambore forest, young Sita the tiger longs to prove she's more than Queen Sharmila's cub-she's the descendant of Dawon the Fierce, the legendary tiger ridden into battle by the goddess Parvati herself.But the jungle is dying. Trees fall. Rivers fade. Food grows scarce. And in the shadows, poachers close in. Divided by fear and pride, the tiger tribes turn against one another. When her mother vanishes in search of answers, Sita must summon a courage worthy of her lineage to unite the jungle before it's too late.
Joined by a fainting peacock, a sharp-tongued snake, a chatterbox monkey, and a daring village boy, Sita embarks on a journey where every step tests her heart and every roar shakes the fate of the wild. Guided by Parvati's spirit, she will learn that true strength isn't born from power alone-but from the bonds that tie every living thing to the jungle's beating heart.
