Powerful oligarchs and ruthless gangs rule in a city beyond corruption. One girl and one ring could change the fate of everyone. It’s New Year’s Eve and hundreds of people are flocking to the city into the affluent areas all the way down into the sewers below. The party is on, and Mia’s job is going to be popping. She works at Valkyrie House, a brothel that invites absolute debauchery, but also a place Mia calls home. In a city under the crooked leadership of the Five Families, Mia has managed to carve out a good life in the gloomy capital city of Julilie. All is well until a client leaves behind a mysterious crown-shaped rose gold ring with strange markings engraved inside. Determined to return it and rid the brothel of the liability, Mia thinks she’s doing the right thing, but soon finds herself the enemy of every gang in the city. Gangs that are controlled by the very oligarchs who rule the country. Ancient magic collides with the modern day, as Mia discovers that she is the only one who can tip the fate of everyone in her city. Ruthless gangs will hunt her, the darkness will be on her heels. Will she be able to tell friends from foes in time to save herself and her home or will the forces tear her apart to get what they want.

A field mouse’s place is in the field—or so say Rollie’s father, his grandfather, and everyone he has ever known. But Rollie wants something more. So one day, he sets off down the path toward the Kingdom of Muddmoor, not knowing what he’ll find. In the adventures that follow, Rollie encounters many strange and wonderful things, from a talking fish and floating cows to the official Wizard of Muddmoor. But it turns out that what the kingdom needs most may just be the skills of one small field mouse. Dean Morrissey’s lush paintings and magical story bring Rollie to life as the tiny hero who, with a little courage, makes a huge difference.

In literatures worldwide, animal fables have been analyzed for their revealingly anthropomorphic views, but until now little attention has been given to the animal tales of China. The complex, competitive relationship between rodents (vilified as thieves of grain) and the felines with whom they are perennially at war is explored in this presentation of Chinese tales about cats and mice. Master translator Wilt Idema situates them in an overview of animal tales in world literature, in the Chinese literary tradition as a whole, and within Chinese imaginative depictions of animals. The tales demonstrate the animals’ symbolism and their unusually prominent—and verbal—role in the stories. These readings depict cats and mice in conflict, in marital bonds, and in litigation—most centrally in a legal case of a mouse against a cat in the underworld court of King Yama. Many of the stories adopt the perspective of the mice as animals merely trying to survive, while also recognizing that cats are natural hunters. This entertaining volume will appeal to readers interested in Chinese literature and society, comparative literature, and posthumanist consideration of human-animal relations.
