Jayden Lee is a seventeen year old trying to find a way to pass his exams, but he is also something much greater; He is the champion of Simha, the Lion Spirit Beast. Known as Lionborne, Jayden is the spiritual protector of Singapore and the only one who can stop William Ashford, the champion of Olephis, the Spirit Devourer. William and Olephis seek to use their power to take control of the world, starting with Singapore.

​

In The Trial of Doves and Deer, William Ashford is after the Flaming Dove, an ancient artifact rumored to be able to birth new Spirit Beasts. William sends famed mercenary Ada Tao after the artifact, gifting her the power of the Deer Spirit Beast. For the first time, Jayden finds himself having to fight another Spirit Beast, and if he fails, the Flaming Dove and the power to rule all will fall into the hands of Olephis. Adding to the pressure, his O-Level Examinations are coming up, and Simha is hiding a secret that will change everything for the young Jayden.
