Hikari’s Gift: A sequel to “Shadowbirds’ Curse” (Pipo and the Sky Fox)

By Kauro Green

A curious cat. A luminous fox. A secret only the unseen world remembers. Pipo, a silver-gray cat with a knack for trouble, never expected a nuzzle from the spirit-fox Hikari would leave him with a "glowing paw print mark--and the ability to see the hidden magic" swirling through his village. Now, baker's bread rises with "spirit-moths", the old bridge snores with a "river dragon's bubbles", and his winged companion Tsubasa shines as a "constellation of stories". But when Pipo discovers a "fishergirl's cracked blue sigil"--a seal binding her to a "mermaid twin"--the Tide Witch's "Dusk Crows" come stealing memories, unraveling Lina's mind. To save her, Pipo must: - Make a river dragon snort with laughter (no small feat). - Answer a riddle that could cost him his voice. - Confront the Tide Witch's cruel bargain--one that split a soul between land and sea. With Hikari's light fading and time slipping like tidewater, Pipo must weave a new kind of magic: not to break the bond, but to mend it. "A gorgeously whimsical tale" of spirit realms, fractured love, and the quiet power of seeing what others miss. Perfect for fans of 'The Cat Who Rode the Wind, The Cat Who Found the Lost Light, and The Shadowbirds' Curse'. "Not all magic is meant to be kept--some is meant to be shared."
