When Fear Is Not Afraid: The first book in the Morigan Tetralogy

When animals write poetry, things get literary. When poetry rewrites reality, things get dangerous.

Reality is breaking, verse is to blame, and Oscar Teabag-Dooven is absolutely the wrong cat to fix it.

Oscar never meant to get tangled in a plot involving forbidden vaults, exploding cafés and an ex-poet turned reality-warping megalomaniac. But here he is, paws-deep in syllables and sabotage, trying to stop a transformation that could obliterate everything.

Joined by Tabby Miss Cakes, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, they become the most unlikely duo to save reality. As powerful poets conspire to re-scribe the world itself, they’re the only hope against a conspiracy that threatens to plunge civilization into an Armageddon that makes Bedlam of the second Dooven book look like a good way to cook eggs.

Hilariously deadpan, wildly inventive and threaded with unexpected poignancy, When Fear Is Not Afraid launches the Velvet Paw of Asquith’s Morigan Tetralogy with flair, fire and masses of confusion.

Welcome back to the New Fable fiction genre, where fluffy just got even dangerouser.
