A romp through ancient Egyptian burial grounds with three mystical cats in search of a sacred spell. Mystical cat, Marcos, is out to avenge the death of his master/companion. Only the thought of destroying his master's murderer keeps him going. Having forgotten how to use his mystical talents, he acquires the help of Simone, a cat who knows evil better than anyone for a spell of revenge, and Cattutkin, a cat who knows where sacred spells are hidden. While searching for an ancient spell, they are watched by another cat guarding the ancient secrets.

The human emotions encountered in this anthology range from hot as a dragon's fiery breath, to cold as an assassin's logic. Ten experienced authors explore this spectrum in a collection of prose and poems. The book opens with a tale of teenage angst and ends with a story about a deputy sheriff mystified by a dog's corpse - in between you will find anger and compassion; ugliness and beauty; life and death; love lost and personal salvation. The writing is as gentle as a caress and as brutal as a bare-knuckle punch to the gut, as comforting as hot chocolate on a winter's night and as disconcerting as alligators in a swimming pool.
