Darkness Rising: Book One of The Catmage Chronicles

When a talking cat appears at Andy's door, his biggest worry shifts from avoiding the school bully to saving the world.

Goldeneyes isn't just any cat—she's a Catmage with human intelligence, devastating magical powers, and zero patience for humans. Especially impulsive eighth-graders like Andy. But an ancient prophecy has bound them together, and neither of them is happy about it.

The Catmage world is spiraling toward war. Dark forces are growing stronger by the day, and they've just made their most devastating move yet—kidnapping Goldeneyes' grandmother, one of the most powerful Catmages alive.

Now Andy must master abilities he never knew he had while partnering with a magical cat who can barely tolerate his existence. Racing against time and a ruthless enemy, this unlikely duo must infiltrate dangerous territory to rescue the kidnapped Catmage before she's lost forever.

But their greatest challenge isn't the enemy—it's learning to trust each other. Because if Andy and Goldeneyes can't overcome their differences, the growing darkness will consume everything they're fighting to protect.

Some eighth-graders worry about pop quizzes. Andy's about to discover there are much scarier tests ahead.

The adventure begins in this captivating first book of The Catmage Chronicles.
