The Panthera Legacy consists of The Betrayal (2007) and The Tomb (2025), separated by an eighteen-year gap. The series takes its name from the Panthera genus, suggesting a storyline involving big cats or related mythology.

The long delay between books is unusual but not unheard of in genre fiction. Gear was busy with numerous other projects in the years between, including the Donovan series and continued First North Americans books. The Tomb’s 2025 publication date shows that the story stayed with him.
