Trapped by rising flood waters, Dikeledi must teach her wayward cubs lessons of survival — this brutal kingdom is no place for a gentle cheetah family. The rotten clan of hyenas has taken control, but the Makulu Pack will not tolerate its tyranny. These wild dogs have cunning experience, but their strength starts to crumble and others wait to seize their opportunities.

Mmamotse's rule has turned the kingdom upside down. Her legacy now depends on a princess stepping up to the throne. As the flood waters retreat, Dikeledi readies her cubs for escape but must risk crossing enemy territory. A run-in with the Matahta Pride brings things into focus for Pula as she begins training her young assassin. In the Savage Kingdom, the young hold the key to power.
