The Ninth Life of an Erstwhile Witch

Synopsis

Once, she was called the Hero of the Realm. Or the Sorceress Savior. Or the Butcher of Vyron.

Now she's just called the Cat Lady.


With her most loyal cat by her side and her staff in hand, Eva wanders the war-torn countryside and takes care of any and all problems of a feline nature—regardless of whether it was a stray who’d started breathing fire or the baker ’s pet who was causing rain in the kitchen. She wasn’t able to save the world but she’s intent on saving as many magical cats as she can.

Seeking a place to settle with her cats, Eva finds a tiny town hidden behind mountains, and hires a local to build her shelter. But the builder, Kellan, and the town, have a secret: all of them are hiding magical abnormalities, either within themselves or a loved one.

Eva's looking for a safe place for her cats, but what she finds is a home, friends and love. But when her past intrudes in her new life, will she be able to keep her safe haven safe?
