Cat Hunters - P. Clauss - Bog

They don't hunt cats! They hunt with cats to survive!
A millennia ago, when a great technological civilization was destroyed, the remnants of human-kind faced extinction. Recognizing their dire need, non-human predators, led by cat-kind, offered to help. Before long, human-kind and their chosen predators developed deep bonds and separated into five distinct Hunter tribes - Cat Hunters, Dog Hunters, Bear Hunters, Eagle Hunters, and Snake Hunters. To guide each tribe, one person was chosen to be their Spirit and endowed with mystical powers. To keep the peace amongst the tribes and to assure a fair sharing of land and resources, the Hunter Tribe system was formed.

Secretly permeated by evil through the centuries, the Hunter tribe system will soon shatter under the heavy hand of a Spirit's lust for ultimate power. The only hope to fight this foe is Kilala of the Cat Hunters. But with her true beginning veiled and her destiny concealed all her life, she must accept that she is the next Spirit of her tribe and the newest member of the Council of Spirits. Even with her deep bond with all of cat-kind and the ability to command the Sentinels, she is vulnerable without a mentor to help her understand her duties and master her powers. She must quickly learn to be cautious of who helps her, for not everyone is her friend.

With her powers untested and leadership abilities unknown, can Kilala stand firm against a devious and vicious enemy? If she cannot save the tribes from the reign of chaos, then no one can - and everyone living in the Land of Ritigabid will be lost.
