A Cat's World of Strangers

The talking cats are in danger! Can a librarian save them and an enchanted village?

In this charming blend of fantasy and cozy mystery, librarian Chess is journeying home to her secret realm with her sharp-witted cat Kafka and her handsome detective friend Nik. But when they arrive, nothing and no one is the same.

After a daring mission into the “real” world, they’ve landed in an alternate version of their magical town. Many people have identical counterparts, but they don’t recognize Chess and Nik. Worse, due to the village’s wrongheaded attitudes, the intelligent felines and mixed-breed shifters are being persecuted.

In this fourth paranormal mystery in a bingeworthy series, Chess and her companions join forces with new and old friends, including some long-lost family members. They must combat the ruling elite, expose secrets hidden in an ancient library, and prevent a disaster that could destroy both supernatural worlds. Readers will fall in love all over again with the offbeat characters, warmhearted humor, and suspense that builds to a thrilling climax.
