Andy Cohen's senior year was supposed to be about college applications and graduation. Instead, he's in a race against time to prevent Principal Saunders from becoming unstoppable. Saunders has achieved the impossible—he's mastered the Tilyon, the most devastating Catmage amulet ever created, and its terrifying power is making him nearly invincible. With each passing day, Saunders grows stronger, more ruthless, and closer to wielding ultimate power. But Andy isn't the same freshman who once trembled at a talking cat. His own abilities have been growing too, pushing him toward a confrontation that's been years in the making. Yet even as his powers expand, so do the threats around him. Taylor has set his sights on Becca, threatening everything Andy holds dear. And in the cruelest twist yet, someone Andy trusted with his life has betrayed him when he needed them most. With enemies closing in from every direction and allies turning into adversaries, this final battle isn't just about good versus evil—it's about whether Andy can become powerful enough to face an enemy who seems unstoppable. Everything has led to this moment. Two forces growing stronger. One ultimate confrontation. Can Andy's emerging powers match Saunders' mastery of the Tilyon? Or will his former principal finally claim the ultimate prize? The epic conclusion to The Catmage Chronicles will determine who truly wields the greatest power. Meryl Yourish has managed to turn her love of cats and reading fantasy into creating a fictional world where cats have human intelligence and magical powers. It's no coincidence that the major Catmages all look like cats that are or have been in her life.   When she's not writing about Catmages, she's working on fantasy novels. A trilogy about the last dragon is in the works.   Meryl lives in Richmond, VA, and loves spending time with her friends and their children.  She can often be found at RavenCon, the annual Richmond-area SF and fantasy convention.
