About Darkness Calls the Tiger : A Novel of World War II Burma

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Imperial Japan devours the southern portion of Burma, intent on taking over mainland Asia. Unaware of the coming darkness, Kailyn Moran drifts in her role as the only daughter of a widowed missionary. As whispers of war snake through the Kachin mountains, Kai’s father is convinced God will protect the mission. He entrusts the village to her and the kind yet inexperienced new missionary, Ryan McDonough, while he makes routine visits to neighboring villages. The tempest of war descends upon Kailyn and Ryan, and an unbreakable bond forms between them as they unite to provide solace to both villagers and the flood of refugees. Despite their tireless efforts, a brutal enemy shatters almost everything they love, pushing Kailyn to embark on a path of unrestrained vengeance. Afraid he’s losing the woman he loves, Ryan fights to protect Kai from the consequences of her choices. But in the face of destruction, can he convince her of the power and freedom of forgiveness? “Evocative and transportive, filled with nuance and spiked with the violence of war, Darkness Calls the Tiger is a story of redemption in the midst of hopelessness.”—Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author
