The Rogue Princess
Book 5 of the Return to the Four Kingdoms series
Kali has always wanted adventure, but she does not expect it to arrive in the form of a talking cat with a private agenda. Puss insists that a miller’s child accompany him across the Great Desert, and Kali seizes the chance even though she does not understand where he is leading her. Thieves, traps, and an irritatingly persistent traveler named Xavier reveal that the journey is connected to a threat against her people. This Puss in Boots retelling gives the miller’s daughter the adventure while a trickster cat and a suspicious young man complicate every step.
