Nala's Dare

 is the second book in The Lion King: Six New Adventures.

Synopsis
A strange adult lion is seen in the Pride Lands. The pride is suspicious, but Nala is curious about this new lion. She is soon dared by Chumvi to talk to the lion face-to-face. She knows that rogue lions can be dangerous, but wants to look brave. While approaching him, she runs into hyenas, but luckily the mysterious lion saves her. Nala finds out that the lion's name is Ni. She also finds out that he had to leave his pride, as young male lions are driven from their prides when they are old enough to fend for themselves. Nala's mother, Sarafina, introduces Ni to the rest of the Pridelanders, and then Ni leaves.
