In an ancient Africa of verdant Sahara plains, warrior woman Jeneba Karamoke has grown up scorned by her people because her father was a leopard man. When she rescues a party of fellow warriors from cannibalistic monster half-men, she hopes it will finally win acceptance for her.
But no...in order to prove she isn't lying about the vanished hero Tomo Silla's part in their capture by the half men she must make Tomo face the tribe. Can she find him, and then survive more monsters, foreign tribes, and a curse laid on a fabled city to bring him back alive?

I read this book before - in the Dark Ages when I attended middle school. It was a tattered, worn copy, donated to our library, and I lost track of it. Fast forward to September 2015, and I stumble on it at a conference. Even met the amazing author. Started reading it again, and it kept me glued. Lee writes amazing action - the fight scenes are something I am able to see in my brain without confusion. The world she creates is absolutely beautifully done. Never was my suspension of disbelief disrupted. The plot is epic and yet you feel the almost impossibility of success (something many authors have not conquered), yet the sheer will and drive of the characters - their desperation- is so well done that you know and understand their choices. Really, really LOVE this book. I plan on reading everything I can of Killough's that I can grab.Product details

The Leopard Daughter edition by Lee Killough Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
On the Sahara Plains, in spite of being the niece of their King Mseluku Karamoke, her Dasa of the Imbu tribe always held Jeneba Karamoke in contempt because her sire is a shapeshifting leopard man. Still Jeneba is a loyal strong warrior woman and would die for the Dasa, especially her family. However her prayers to become accepted through brave deeds fail even when she rescues her warrior peers including her uncle from monstrous half-human cannibals because everyone blames her for their original plight instead of the man who failed the tribe Tomo Silla. Ironically Tomo's action including his disappearance has turned him into a martyred hero instead of a betraying deserter.
Outraged and disappointed, Jeneba decides she must find Tomo and force him to speak the truth to the Dasa. She begins her personal mission, but instead she finds she must lead losers on a quest to save the people of the missing city of Yagana that abruptly vanished; failure means the end of life as she knows it on the Sahara plains.
THE LEOPARD'S DAUGHTER is a terrific refreshing fantasy based on the African mythos. The location and the various fantastic species make for a vastly different quest that readers will appreciate. Jeneba is a wonderful protagonist who must save the world she knows when all she wants is to prove herself worthy to her people. Her companions are delightful as there are not heroic Tolkien heroes, but instead include Tomo and a half-man who should be her enemy. A solid short science fiction murder mystery "Afterburn" is included though it is seemingly out of place with the prime tale as a bonus that showcases the vast talent of Lee Killough.

The Leopard's Daughter is a story about 4 people on a quest to find not only a magical object but more importantly their ways of living with who they really are. I found the book engaging and one of the better pieces of fiction I've read in a while, regretting each night when I got too tired to continue reading. It reads smoothly and I found it very easy to empathize with the characters and slip into the story, a story that left me feeling uplifted by the camaraderie depicted and the progress the main character makes in coming to terms with her leopard lineage and the qualities that gives her - a lineage that she has spent her life being scorned for. A good book for light reading.
Set in a time when the Sahara grew green and a world where shamanic powers and demons are real, The Leopard's Daughter tells the story of Jeneba, a girl born to a human mother and leopard-man father. Her search for justice and acceptance takes her across a prehistoric world full of diverse tribes, strange magics, and other long-lost wonders. As she learns to accept her unique origins and gifts, she meets several interesting characters struggling with their own problems. With so many pseudo-medieval European fantasies retelling the "chosen boy saves the world" idea, it was nice to read something different, especially with a strong female protagonist who doesn't waste her time brooding. Very enjoyable all around!
