Lions and elephants usually leave each other alone, but against the harsh and unpredictable backdrop of the Kalahari these mightiest of African beasts collide not once, but twice. In a riveting, real-life drama that plays out over eighteen months, a handful of young and inexperienced lions struggle to secure a kingdom. When a devastating drought leaves the normally powerful elephants weak and vulnerable, the big cats have a unique opportunity to further their cause. Yet their clash with the elephants is just the taster for an even greater battle ahead – a battle that will test the pride to its limit.
