A Fellowship of Curses & Cats

The cat distribution system is about to get magical.

Woodland elf Theo Brylar should be basking in bliss. He and his human partner, Arleta, have a thriving bakery, a baby on the way, and a bright future in Adenashire. But beneath his calm exterior, Theo’s anxiety simmers―stirred by old grief, complicated family, and emotions he doesn’t always understand.

Hoping to steady his nerves, Theo turns to eccentric wizard Ibus Ironflame, who offers him a supposedly soothing potion. What Theo gets instead is a magical mix-up: stray cats begin appearing on his doorstep…then multiplying until the bakery becomes Adenashire’s first cat café.

As the cats take over his life, Theo worries he’s juggling more than he can handle, and that was before his mother complicated things with a surprise visit. But with guidance from his forest lynx companion, Faylin, and Arleta’s steady love, Theo may come to realize that even the messiest moments can lead to something unexpectedly beautiful―especially when surrounded by cats.
