In Varjak Paw, an Elder Paw speaks of Seven Skills, naming Slow-Time, Moving Circles and Shadow-walking, as Varjak faces a city of dangerous dogs, cat gangs and the mysterious Vanishings. Phoenix follows Lucky, who believes he is an ordinary Human boy until a dream and a sudden power force him to run, pursued through space in a galaxy at war between Humans and Aliens. In The Outlaw Varjak Paw, Varjak becomes the elected leader of a new gang built on freedom and kindness, but an escalating gang war and Sally Bones’ attempt to control all cats pushes the city towards conflict.

Synopses

Varjak Paw

An Elder Paw whispers of Seven Skills in the way of Jalal, though only three are known: Slow-Time, Moving Circles and Shadow-walking. Varjak must use the Way to survive in a city filled with dangerous dogs, cat gangs and the mysterious Vanishings.

Phoenix

Lucky thinks he is an ordinary Human boy, until he dreams that the stars are singing to him and wakes with an uncontrollable power. On the run and racing through space, he searches for answers in a galaxy at war, where Humans and Aliens are deadly enemies. Help may come from an Alien starship crew and an Alien warrior girl with neon needles in her hair.

The Outlaw Varjak Paw

After saving the city cats from a fate worse than death, Varjak Paw is elected leader of a new gang that supports freedom and kindness for all. As pressure builds, the city erupts into an all-out gang war when Sally Bones attempts to control the lives of all cats. Outnumbered and horrified, Varjak and the others must fight for their freedom, and question whether Jalal’s Way is truly the best way.
