The cat has the answers.
Hyacinth's boring (and lonely) life flips upside down the day her cat, Max, tricks her into travelling through a portal to another world.
But in the whimsical land of LaWardia, he's no feline—he's a brawny pirate and he knows way more about her than he's letting on.
Hyacinth soon realizes she isn't who she thought she was, thanks to a bag of magic marbles, a mysterious itch, an enchanted boat—oh, and a family that's hunting her down.
As she flees, travelling island to island searching for answers, she discovers that bigger matters claim her: an ancient magic, a looming audit, and her growing feelings for Max.
