description: The buildings grow.And the city expands.And the people of the land are starting to behave abnormally.Or perhaps theyve always behaved that way and its normality thats at fault.And the king of the land confers with his best friend who happens to be his closest advisor who also happens to be a talking cat. But thats all perfectly natural and not at all weird.And when chief architect Iona wakes from a long period of blindly accepting the status quo she realizes theres a mystery to be solved. A strange somewhat bizarre mystery to be sure but no less dangerous for its improbability.And the cat is almost certainly involved!
