Cat Mages
Secrets in the Shadows
by Ariel Chen


Starlight and Sunshine, the two cat sisters living in the animal world of Zorema, could have never guessed what they were destined for… Little do they know, a dark shadow is rising and they are the ones tasked to stop it. Soon, a strange dream leads to an encounter with miracle. The twins and their faithful parents are thrown into a world full of lurking dangers and shadowy secrets. After facing challenge after challenge, they discover the hidden truths buried deep within the heart of the darkness. Together, Starlight and Sunshine will conquer tremendous obstacles, make unthinkable sacrifices, and come face to face with their destiny. The fate of their entire realm is in their paws…


Born in Manhattan, Ariel currently lives with her parents, her little sister Chelsea, and two cats, Venus and Disco, in Oakville, Ontario.

Her short story, 'A Dog's Trip to the Rainforest', won the first prize in the 2022-2023 Short Story Contest, held by Polar Expressions Publishing.
