About this product
Dazzling trapeze artist Amandine Sand leads a perilous double life. Will her secret—and her choices—save her planet or ruin it?
Amandine Sand walks a high wire between two lives—hobbled by a life-threatening secret. She’s a “leopard,” one of the spotted humans wrongly accused of being a plague-carrier. Leopards like her are hunted by zealots to protect their offworld colony from the scourge.
Despite this threat, Amandine spends her days guiding other leopards to an underground shelter run by the pacifist Seekers. At night, with her own spots hidden, she takes to the air, the one place this extraordinary artist feels free and gloriously alive.
When the persecution of leopards explodes into widespread violence, the Seekers demand more of her time. But her circus is teetering toward bankruptcy and desperately needs her, too. She has no time to breathe… and then she meets a stranger who leaves her breathless. And might just be the biggest risk of all. If her trust is misplaced and she’s unmasked, everyone she loves—and everything she’s fought for—could crash.
Now she must make an irrevocable leap. Without a net.
Can a leopard summon the courage to reveal her true colors? Can a pacifist defend her violent enemies to stop a civil war? Can a reluctant angel fly beyond her limits to save her life, her love, and her world?
