About the Book
In the ancient village of Winder Hollow, where time moves slowly and shadows run deep, Joster the black cat stalks the rooftops, ever watchful for the skittering rats below. It’s the age-old balance: predator and prey. But when roaring machines tear into the forest and a burning menace falls from the sky, the very earth turns against both cat and rat. Poisoned air, vanishing prey, and humans wielding gas and traps force Joster and the rats – led by the wise, scarred Thimble and the curious Mina – to face annihilation. When Joster spares a young rat and confronts a shared enemy, an impossible truce begins. Can a hunter sworn to chase and prey born to flee unite against a greater destruction? Sidonio Rayven weaves a hauntingly beautiful tale of survival, challenging instinct, and the fragile, transformative power of choosing trust over fear to defend a home worth saving.
About the Author
Sidonio Rayven grew up in a lively, laughter-filled home with five siblings, where our grandma’s bedtime tales of chatty foxes and wise old owls first sparked my love for storytelling. Now, I writes whimsical adventures about curious creatures and kind-hearted kids, always weaving in a secret ingredient: the belief that true friendship means listening as much as sharing. When not scribbling stories, I can be found crafting teeny treasure boxes from bottle caps and cardboard, or challenging my nieces to a backwards-alphabet race (am the reigning champion). I hopes my books inspire kids to see magic in everyday moments—and maybe invent a few tales of their own!
