011. Chapter One: A Prince Is Born
A timid lion cub named Kio is born to Summer, the queen of a powerful pride. When a hunt ends in tragedy, Kio gets his first glimpse at how unpredictable life on the savannah can be. He slowly grows braver until a solo adventure brings him face to face with the pride's mortal enemy: the buffalo.
022. Chapter Two: A Band of Brothers
After a narrow escape, 12-week-old Kio must earn the respect of his older brothers if he’s ever to survive – and one day become a king. Just as he finally finds his place among them, disaster tears the family apart, forcing Summer to make an extraordinary sacrifice to protect Kio's future.
033. Chapter Three: The Greatest Sacrifice
Summer and Kio finally reunite with the brothers, but they soon face a harsh new reality. Kio's mother must teach this inexperienced brotherhood everything they need for independence and hunt for them — alone. But in increasing desperation, she makes a dangerous decision. Kio's life is changed forever.
044. Chapter Four: To Be King
Alone and far from home, Kio and his brothers must survive in territories ruled by rival males. A thriving marsh and a pride of lionesses offer hope for a new beginning until the reigning kings return and attack. To claim a kingdom of his own, Kio must prove he has the courage to lead.
