description: Once a century one person is chosen for greatness. And it was not Alodia.Alodia is the crown princess of the realm. The sister who knows how to rule and the one who is constantly reminded that she has not been marked for a grand destiny. But Alodia has plans and she will be the greatest queen her people have ever known. So she travels--with her hopeless nave chosen sister--to a distant part of their land to begin to secure her supporters. This region needs its princesses for it is plagued with a curse. The crops don't grow the spring doesn't arrive and a fierce jaguar stalks the shadows leaving only empty homes splashed with blood behind. If Alodia can save them no one will be able to deny her strength and her sovereignty.But what she discovers could change the fate of her kingdom if not her world. And it will most certainly change her opinion of her younger sister.The Shadow Cats is a prequel to the riveting Fire and Thorns trilogy: Book One The Girl of Fire and Thorns; Book Two The Crown of Embers; and Book Three The Bitter Kingdom.
