The Search for the Shadow Cat

The Jaguar Oracle series continues with a mystical tale about a jaguar searching for the long-lost jaguarundi, or "shadow cat," as his quest intersects with human drama and technological developments in South Texas.

Seeking the lair of a legendary creature like the shadow cat requires braving the riddle of a poisonous coral snake. Oracle recovers from a cougar attack through the care of a hermit and is released onto a ranch with exotic wildlife.

Showcasing magic realism in Texas, this next stage of Oracle's journey is fraught with dangers from humans and animals. This mystical story reveals a world in which animals have voices that transcend language and friendships are constant, overcoming the fragility of life and fickle humanity. Poetic and fantastical, this series satisfies a reader's hungry heart while providing clues for navigating life's complexities.
