The Search for the Shadow Cat

When hidden things are called forth, destinies awaken.

Oracle the jaguar rises from the edge of death to seek the return of the long-lost jaguarundi—the shadow cat whose emergence will complete the animal kingdom’s calling. With Patch the raccoon, Plod the horse, Bog the toad, and the manchild Miracle, Oracle journeys through a poetically charged Rio Grande Valley where willows remember, turtles whisper, and green jays cry out with ancient joy.

One shadow. One summons. A discovery that awakens a world.

As Oracle imparts the memory of the Days of First Things, creation stirs: fireflies are freed, stars above bear witness, and ocelots marvel at legends come true. Yet the quest reaches beyond the veil of the wild. At Eden’s Bend—a high-tech ranch of exotic and native beasts—Tripp hides behind ambition as zoologist Chasing Eagle challenges him to face the toll of his dreams.

The hermit Brazos Ben must step out of long seclusion and confront the wounds dividing him from his son. And in a humble vaquero home, Miracle’s guardians release him to the mystery he was born to fulfill—though the malice of El Dragón is not far off.

Enter a world where creatures know their true names, hidden ones emerge when called, and the path to healing lies in awakening what has long remained unseen.

Hear the call. Seek the mystery. Change the world.
