My name is Moss O’Malley, and I’ve just been sentenced to three years in the Magical Corrections System. Thanks to my thieving ways—or rather, the fact I got caught—I have to live the next three years as a cat, unable to shift back to my human form or use magic of any kind. Just when I think I’m about to lose my mind for good, an agent breaks me free on one condition. I have to help her with a case. So now I must serve and protect, using my criminal wiles to catch others doing the same kinds of things that got me locked up in the first place. It beats languishing at the cat rescue—sure—but will I be able to catch the super-powered bad guys without having any powers of my own to call on?

Do a good job, and they give you even more work. I’m not sure why I expected anything different from the goody two-shoes jerks at the Magical Corrections System. So here I am, a former thief trying to keep these two-leggers on the straight and narrow. Have I mentioned I’m a shifter who’s been sentenced to remain in my cat form until my time is up? Yeah, I’m a big fluffy cat with zero of my usual magic, but that doesn’t stop me from being the best temp agent the MCS has ever seen. And right now, my partners and I are tailing a mage bent on exposing magic to the world. The stakes are high. The payout will be next-to-nothing. If I play my cards right, I might be able to earn my parole… and the heart of the woman I love. Of course, right now, they’ve got me busier than a one-eyed cat watching two mouse holes, but that can’t last forever. Right? RIGHT?
