Erica Randal’s destiny requires a lot of balance. Time learning the roll of destined guardian of a temple protecting deadly knowledge. Time learning her way around a sword before inheriting her aunt’s magical sword. Time adapting to her clowder of guardian shapeshifting cats and their leader Galahad living in her home.
And time off from work to travel. To distant parts of the multiverse. With pink sands and mile high cliffs. And a purple sea topped by glowing, seaweed-scented waves so huge they make her heart hammer.
But the waves prove the least of Erica’s worries. What hides beneath that alien ocean threatens the very fabric of reality. And even the most terrifying ally might not be enough to prevent disaster. Erica, her aunt, and the Destiny Cats must stop their ancient enemy. Or risk the destruction of everything.
