Fresh from the Tower of High Sorcery and nearly penniless, twins Caramon and Raistlin Majere take a job investigating a string of disappearances in the walled city of Mereklar, where legend says the town's cats have kept it safe from evil since the Cataclysm. As the missing cats give way to a string of murders that point to something monstrous prowling the streets, the brothers' fragile bond is tested by grief over their mother's death and by forces using them as pawns in a far older quarrel among the gods.
