Cat Rider

Karyn Fitzmanner never wanted to be a circus performer or an actor, the usual careers for minifolk in a Biggie world, and the path followed by her family. To be true to herself, she became a cat rider, a soldier in the ongoing war against city vermin, an adventurous life that she found fulfilling. But when she joins an elite company of riders, she discovers a side of her miniature world that isn’t so appealing. Faced with the condemnation of her peers and overseers because of her views about life and religion, Karyn struggles against a world defined by the needs and expectations of the Biggies that surround and support her. Along the way, she seeks love as well as acceptance. She cannot merely serve the Biggies or the teachings of the Great Alchemist who created her forebears. She wants – and needs – something more, something important and rewarding.
