Cheshire Grim
Bast, mother goddess. And yet generations before her reputation was domesticated, as were the wildcats from which she took her image, Bast was a warrior goddess embodying all the ferocity, tenacity, strength, and killer instinct of those same cats.
Anubis, son of Bast, guider of souls to the Underworld. In his impetuous youth and boredom, the young god creates a plague that has been battled against for five thousand years.
Samantha Cheshire, freak, outcast. Her sun-yellow eyes have brought years of harassment from her peers in public school. Only now, Samantha has been discovered on the cusp of her becoming. Discovered by those who can, and do, accept her as a sister. She is told of her place in this ancient battle and also learns that though she is still different from her own kind, she is still loved and empowered by them. Can she be the turning point in the war between—wolf men and cat women?
