The shapeshifter Tek lives on, but time moves strangely. He befriends Nika, a young servant and an owl shapeshifter in the mid-1700s.
Fierce, independent Nika - she is all but a slave to her callous masters, and will need a friend like Tek, much more than she realizes.

Nika Rising is the second book in the three-book Tek & Nika Series, about indigenous shapeshifters.
