An epic quest for redemption and self-discovery
Venture into a lush, mystically supercharged natural world where the fate of an entire animal kingdom hangs in the balance in The Search for the Shadow Cat, the captivating third installment of the Jaguar Oracle series.
A long, mysterious absence and the fulfillment of a legacy
The majestic jaguar named Oracle has returned to the Rio Grande Valley to pick up the trail left by the last guardian of this endangered realm, Kahoo the Grave. Awakening a dormant legend, Oracle embarks on a perilous quest to restore the three feline tribes-bobcat, ocelot, and long-lost jaguarundi: the "shadow cat"-to their rightful place as stewards of the animal kingdom.
With Patch the raccoon, Plod the horse, Bog the toad, and the child named Miracle, the jaguar navigates a richly-drawn landscape where created things have a voice. Oracle must press through pain and wrestle perplexity to rediscover the wisdom of the Days of First Things and restore the fragmented animal realm. As he does, creation awakens, from a jabber of green jays to secretive turtles to trees holding on to ancient knowledge.
Reclaiming lost wisdom and honoring our connection to nature
But Oracle is not alone in his quest. He finds an unexpected ally in Tripp Menefee, the ambitious and conflicted young entrepreneur who runs the Eden's Bend preserve and high-tech ranch, where a rhino, zebras, and other exotic beasts dwell alongside native ones.
Tripp and Oracle forge an invisible partnership as both seek to restore the animal kingdom while Tripp grapples with his own motivations-and the growing affection he has for the woman confronting him on the toll his development plans are taking on the delicate ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the hermit Brazos Ben, who had once nursed Oracle back to health, holds the key to unlocking the jaguar's past and the secrets of the Lonely Tree at the heart of this landscape. As Ben is forced to confront his own painful history, he must decide whether to help Oracle complete his legacy or remain trapped in the shadows of the past.
Blending elements of magical realism, ancient mythology, and environmental advocacy, The Search for the Shadow Cat is a pulse-pounding adventure and the third installment in the seven-volume Jaguar Oracle series. You will be captivated by this tale of courage, honor, and the power of reclaiming our forgotten roots, for everyone longs to be part of a magical journey that fulfills a deep destiny.
