The Brave — Chad Westbrook

Koda of the Mitaku tribe was just a young, headstrong warrior until one day he comes upon a snow leopard as he hunted the forests near his village. Killing the leopard and drinking his blood, the spirit of the snow leopard visits him in a dream. Their spirit is now one and she foretells of a destiny that he must fulfill: To defeat a Godking and his empire known as the Drakkan. She speaks also that they will come to the North to enslave more of his people. Her words came true as the Drakkan invades the North only days later and decimates the village. Koda and his sister become enslaved and he watches as she is taken away on a ship before he is. Powerless to stop them and preparing for the worst, Koda and others are rescued by warriors of a kingdom whose king is bent on stopping the Drakkan from conquering the world. Koda must choose to follow his destiny and save his sister or watch as the Drakkan destroy everything he comes to love and fights for.
