Shadow and the Cobra: A Tale of Old Mirrororrim

The morning everything happened, a kitten loses his mother to a cobra. An ancient mage finds that little one and changes the course of a magikal world forever.

In the world of Mirrororrim, people have traded their hope and magik for ashes and the reign of the Rat King. Riding on the Western Sea, comes a wave to wipe out all that the People of the Plains, the City dwellers, and the Boatwrights have known.

Orphaned cat, Shadow, joins with Deir-Tan, the ur-mage who devastated Mirrororrim and now wants to atone. With them, a fox, a possum, two young lovers, and a rake who would be King follow an army of cats to forever transform their world before the Nameless One plunges all into darkness. In her most adventurous tale yet, Bethany Beeler weaves a spell in the dance of a cat, the coiling of a snake, and the small, whispering things that make us who we are.
