What to expect
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Fierce by Gin Phillips, read by Cassandra Campbell.
Lincoln is a good boy. At the age of four, he is curious, clever and well behaved. He does as his mum says and knows what the rules are.
'The rules are different today. The rules are that we hide and do not let the man with the gun find us.'
When an ordinary day at the zoo turns into a nightmare, Joan finds herself trapped with her beloved son. She must summon all her strength, find unexpected courage and protect Lincoln at all costs – even if it means crossing the line between right and wrong; between humanity and animal instinct.
It's a line none of us would ever normally dream of crossing.
But sometimes the rules are different.

Critics Review
I devoured it in one breathless sitting. Outstanding.
Fierce Kingdom is a bold exploration of the ferocity of a mother’s love – riveting and beautiful, and all too real. You’ll find yourself asking, what would I do? It’s brilliant.
I was absolutely captivated by this book. So, so tense, but wonderfully written. The perfect book.
It tore at every maternal fibre in my body. I couldn’t put it down.
Unbearably tense and yet beautifully written, Fierce Kingdom demands to be read in one sitting. After finishing, I pulled my loved ones a little closer.
Taut, tense and moving.
A terrifying premise executed with tension and tenderness, and a testament to how far we’ll go to save our loved ones.
Tense and beautifully written, I could not put this down.
A page-turning, adrenaline-soaked read . . . an eloquent and meditative insight into motherhood and what it means, its many small trials and wonders.
Tense and harrowing scenes make for some extraordinarily haunting moments . . . a powerful, unsettling book.
