A thousand years after the end of the Second Endless Winter, life seems to be stable around the globe. And one night, a zoo in the middle of a bustling city welcomes a new arrival: a rare hybrid cub, half lion and half tiger. A liger. As the little Ligress grows, a question constantly bothers her: what does Panthera look like to her? Does she see the view of the tigers, Panthera's blue eyes? Or does she see the view of the lions, Panthera's red claws? Her mother tells her he looks like a tiger; her father argues that he looks like a lion. Who does she believe? One winter night, mysterious stray cat with a pure white coat appears, and tells her that both views are wrong. He alone knows what Panthera truly looks like. But in order to help Ligress see the true light, he would have to tell her a story, starting from the very beginning. He would have to tell her the story of Panthera, and how he became a Star Lord.
