His father disappeared... His mother was murdered... His partner is out to kill him...

Toby, a magical talking cat, has cut ties with the Office of Kingdom Guardianship, intent on finding his long-lost father and avenging his mother’s murder. He thought he left everyone behind, but someone from his past is stalking him. Now he must avoid this strange new menace while he seeks the truth about his family’s dark history, a history that threatens to unravel his sanity and cause the rest of the world to descend into madness. Can Toby reconcile himself with the past or will his inner turmoil allow his enemy to plunge humanity into chaos once and for all?

Master Cat is the third full-length novel in Virginia Ripple's Malkins & Mages series, a clean sword and sorcery fantasy. If you like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter or Erin Hunter's Warriors, then you'll love a series that combines their best traits of magic, mystery and talking cats.
