**Can a broken hero put his past behind to save an innocent feline from being executed?**Toby, a magical talking cat, wants nothing to do with his old life, but someone isn’t letting that happen. When an old friend begs him to help keep an innocent feline from being executed for a murder he didn’t commit, Toby must choose to put his past behind and catch the real killer or risk losing everything that meant anything to him—including his best friend. Guardian Cat is the fourth full-length novel in Virginia Ripple's Master Cat series, a clean sword and sorcery fantasy for ages 9 and older. If you like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter or Erin Hunter's Warriors, then you'll love a series that combines their best traits of magic, mystery and talking cats.
