What makes a man a beast?

One is her captor. One has fur and fangs. And then there’s the cat.

The sorcerer Trencoss insists that Ailbe of Dún Allaine agreed to marry him. So he sets twenty-four black wolfhounds to keep her imprisoned in his sumptuous castle, but she cannot stop searching their faces—looking for the one dog who has been more loyal than any man she has ever known.

Then, a talking white cat leaps through the window. 

To reward Ailbe for her gift of smoked eel and cheese, he sends a handsome prince to rescue her. But not all princes are made for quests, and this former lady-in-waiting doesn’t wait to be rescued…

Following the cat’s instructions, Ailbe strikes a bargain with Trencoss: if he can bring her three more balls of magical thread, spun from the dew on the flowers, she will marry him. 

But she still hasn’t found her own beloved companion… and once the dew dries on her wedding morning, Ailbe will be trapped in the Castle of a Thousand Doors forever.

Sink into this retelling of the Irish fairy tale, The Little White Cat and the Dog Who Wasn’t, a lyrical cozy romantasy filled with found family, talking animals, and a heroine who refuses to leave anyone behind.
