Tora, known to the military company she commands as White Tiger, is about to have her world turned upside down. Her father Tomaso is fatally injured, betrayed by one of their own soldiers. Evidentially, Tomaso had uncovered the man's plot to kill the emperor and take his place. Unfortunately, the only identification Tomaso can give of this conspirator is that he is a man who controls wild felines.

As if this scandalous piece of news where not enough, Tomaso makes a shocking confession on his deathbed. Tomaso tells Tora, the girl he has raised since her mother died during childbirth, that she is not his natural daughter. The dying man tells Tora that he had agreed to marry her mother only to protect her from great mysterious powers that were hunting her and that he was never told the name of Tora's biological father.

White Tiger contains an adventurous action filled storyline in a world full of Humans, Godds, Reptoids, and Mutants. The world the author has created is both unique and extremely well constructed creating a feeling that is a little bit science fiction and a touch fantasy-like in nature. The character of Tora is especially well developed and realistic. She is strong, confident, stubborn, and loyal to a fault. Her unique abilities add spice to these personality traits.
