The Lost Color of Namiri

The Lost Color of Namiri

Author: Elisabeth Maria Fowler

Release: April 2025

Sci-Fi / Fantasy

Long after humanity's fall, panthers rule what remains—an artificial preserve mistaken for the world itself. For centuries, war has raged between the Obsidians and Alabasters—black and white panthers who cast out any cub born with a trace of the other’s hue. The unwanted are left to die at the jungle’s edge. But the ones who survive become Pariahs. Raza is their leader—born of both and neither, marked not just in black and white but with a rare golden sheen whispered of in legend. Haunted by questions of belonging, Raza seeks a life beyond tribal bloodshed. Instead, he is drawn into a war he never chose. Now, with the Obsidians and Alabasters preparing for their final clash, both sides want Raza’s allegiance. As ancient truths surface and long-buried secrets rise, the future of the Wilds hinges on a panther who was never meant to exist.
