The Cat Half-Elven

"Bruno was an ordinary tabby with bright green eyes, always looking for mischief to pull off. He was currently chewing some beef that he'd torn from a large thigh from the butcher's wagon as it passed. The butcher hadn't even noticed. The horse pulling the wagon had called him a "no-good cat burglar," whatever that meant, but since most humans didn't speak horse, Bruno hadn't been overly concerned. He was just licking his lips to eat it when he spotted his favorite snack..."This may not be the first story you have read about a young person with extraordinary powers that he does not understand, but perhaps this is the first one you have read where this person is both overly conceited about it and an orange tabby cat.Bruno the cat is anything but humble, but the full extent of his powers he always wisely hid in his town full of humans until he recklessly allowed a tasty morsel of squirrel to get in the way. Now the town is alerted to his strange powers, and though some think it only a bad omen, being a superstitious people, Balor, the Bogle of the One Eye, an ancient foe who killed Bruno's father, knows the truth and will forever hunt him down, seeking his blood. Bruno and the only two people whom he could possibly call anything close to friends, Plato the Pig and Fido the Dog, must escape the town, fleeing the dark Bogles in search of the Secret Vale in the West, where Elves dwell. On the way, the Three Wayfarers must face an ogre, a wicked witch, goblins, trolls, dwarf pirates, and a little old man with a question to ask..."When an egotistical cat learns something about his past that endangers his life, he goes on the run and is joined by two unusual friends, a dog and a pig, in this magical tale brimming with life lessons, clever dialogue, and a fast-paced plot."-Angela M., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing
