It's been hundreds of years since the Darkness last surfaced, a grim time when both humans and Catmages lost their lives. But now the Wild Ones work with humans again, and thirteen-year-old Andy Cohen gets the surprise of his life when a talking cat shows up in his front yard. Goldeneyes, a powerful Catmage, needs Andy’s help. In the exciting first installment of this new series, Meryl Yourish takes the reader into a world of magical cats, dark powers, and a boy who finds himself entangled in their war.

Andy Cohen isn’t your typical high school student. On top of his regular classes, he’s studying with a Catmage tutor to learn how to cast spells with a Magelight. He's also helping the Catmages—cats with human intelligence and magical powers—battle their evil counterparts, the Wild Ones. But first, he’s got to stop Principal Saunders from stealing a magical pendant that will make him the most powerful man in the world. And that’s just freshman year.

Andy Cohen has problems. Principal Saunders has stolen the Tilyon, the powerful amulet created for the First Catmage, and he's learning how to use it. And to make things worse, his old enemy Taylor is now Saunders' apprentice, and that means he'll have a Magelight, too. Can Andy master his own Magelight before Taylor and the Wild Ones defeat the Catmages?

Andy Cohen tried to walk away from Goldeneyes and the other Catmages, but the threat of the Wild Ones brings him back to help fight. Meanwhile, arch-enemy Taylor Grant is growing more powerful as Principal Saunders' apprentice. When Andy's favorite Catmages go missing, Andy—with Nafshi's Magelight—must find them. But Andy has a secret that he's keeping even from Goldeneyes. If the secret gets out, it will change everything.

Andy Cohen's last year in high school should be all about college prep. But instead, he and the Catmages are working to defeat Principal Saunders, who seems to have finally mastered the awesome powers of the Tilyon, the most powerful Catmage amulet in existence. Meanwhile, Taylor has plans for Becca, and Andy has to face the betrayal of one he trusted the most. Can Andy surmount all these obstacles and help the Catmages win their war, or will Saunders finally have what he wants?
