'He Who Put the Blade Where It Belonged' retakes his rightful title, and the Black Panther is reborn! With the Panther once again among their ranks, the rebels are certain of victory--but at what cost?

But what he learns there will lead him to question the rebellions' very foundation. Will Bast's champion ever be fully restored?"--Back cover.
