The astonishing series about a young girl who befriends a cat hunting
humanity continues with Volume 5, and the Season One finale, in which
the consequences of how we encounter one another come into poignant and
terrifying relief--especially on one September night, when an unexpected
phone call demanding the return of the little white cat challenges
everything the Ibrahims hold dear. They are not alone. Jingjing must
contend with a rival he could never have anticipated, while Xanther must
relinquish all she thought she knew as a far greater responsibility is
set before her. Light wavers and pomegranates reveal their price as the
effects of a great transition start to reverberate around everyone,
Shnorhk's efforts to resume playing music cannot escape history's
ghosts. Cas, in upstate New York, comes face-to-face with her lifelong
nemesis in a candlelit rendezvous that presages the international crisis
soon to come. As more lines tangle, Özgür and Luther brawl with a future
that may have chosen them long ago, and Isandòrno crosses a line that
will force him over the border into a country he has until now
steadfastly refused. All the while, a terrible power roaming the world
continues to grow . . .
