Pages : 218
Book Description
There's an old English legend which states that cats have their own king, and that this feline king can speak in a human voice. But the cats guard their king carefully, lest humans capture him and use him for their own purposes. In this tale based on the old legend, a new king is crowned, but his reign has scarcely begun when he is informed by a feline oracle that he is destined to face terrible difficulties. He will suffer terror and pain; he will end his life in exile. Worst of all, he learns that he is destined to be captured by a human who knows his secret. From that moment on, the new King of the Cats realizes that the golden crown upon his head, for all the glory it represents, is also a heavy burden.

'Absolutely magical... Always intriguing' Richard Adams author of Watership Down. Behind the realm of man lie the wild roads. Weaving through time and space, these hidden pathways carry the natural energies – the spirits, the dreams – of the world.

Amid the struggle between the purest good and the darkest evil, here are tales of duty and destiny, of courage and comradeship among the extraordinary creatures who brave the wild roads... An ancient legend speaks of a golden cat whose coming will heal the troubled world. But the Queen of Cats has three golden kittens – and when two are stolen away, the distraught parents turn to Tag, the new guardian of magical wild roads, for help. As Tag and his friends embark on their search, they encounter a terrifying, unearthly force – a preternatural vortex threatening the wild roads, tearing at the very fabric of existence. Tag is disastrously unprepared for the powerful darkness that threatens to consume everything in its wake.
