Product Description
The first book in the Tygrine Cat series, this is a thrilling fantasy about a cat seeking his destiny. Lost and alone, Mati seeks acceptance from a community of street cats at Cressida Lock. But Mati is no ordinary cat...and the mysterious assassin on his trail knows it. Mati looks different, with his golden eyes, large ears and russet coat. He also acts differently - he anticipates danger with bristling whiskers; hears voices from the feline spirit realm that he cannot understand. To defeat his enemies, Mati must unlock the secret of his true identity. In doing so, he must learn to harness an ancient feline power - a power so deadly that it threatens to destroy not only his friends but every cat on earth...
