Barely a week into his unexpected reign over Maukhetra, King Lucius wastes no time in shaking things up. His first target? None other than the kingdom's revered false idol, the formidable feline known as Miu, whose plaintive meow could stir armies to action.

Seeking to shatter tradition and forge a new path, Lucius turns to the kingdom's outcast, Emery, the embittered wizard banished to the depths of the dungeon by the former king's final decree.

But when a wrench is thrown in their plans, an exiled wizard finds himself seated on the throne, a cat wields power without the need for a wand, and vengeance suddenly has nine lives.
