Darkness calls the tiger. The Sharaw stalks his enemies from the jungle, trapped in the role of man-tiger for the sake of his home. Nobody would believe the formidable foe of the Japanese army in their conquest of Burma comes in the form of a boy, malnourished and fueled by vengeance. Certainly, nobody would believe that boy is actually an American missionary’s daughter. What the invaders would do to Sharaw upon capture pales in comparison to what they would do to Kailyn Moran if she is caught. But the battle raging through the only home Kai knows is nothing compared to the one within her: how can one trust in the supreme God when He allows such horrible things to happen?
And how can one love when the result is pain?
Janyre Tromp wrestles with these very difficult topics in her latest release, Darkness Calls The Tiger. While many of us are unfamiliar with the China-Burma-India theater of WW2, she brings us into the fray with great care and skill, introducing us to characters who represent the natives and those who ministered to them. With careful crafting, we are absorbed into the jungle with Kai and Ryan, the hunters and the hunted battling the elements as much as their human foe. It is the strife within that shreds our hearts and struggles to reassemble them, and Tromp handles this with the dignity and respect it deserves.
Darkness Calls The Tiger by Janyre Tromp will be released May 14, 20204 and is currently available for preorder from your favorite local bookseller or online:
