Windrusher and the Trail of Fire

Fasten Your Seatbelts

Windrusher is an extraordinary cat who communes in his sleep with other cats past and present by means of the mystical 'inner ear'. In Trail of Fire he is accidentally left behind by his family at a roadside rest stop and ends up in a nearly bankrupt cat sanctuary run by Emily O'Connell, a single woman desperately trying to fend off the takeover attempts of Philip Langston, who wants the property for his latest mega-development and who also happens to be CEO of the bank that holds her mortgage. Windrusher is sure he can easily escape from this refuge and find his way home, but a messenger in his dream informs him that he must remain and save the hundreds of other cats from certain death. Emily hatches a plan to save her land and her father's dream even as Langston plots to snatch it from her by any means necessary. Emily's long-suffering companion, Sam, and a pair of bumbling brothers round out the main cast of characters. Windrusher and the Trail of Fire is truly an old-fashioned cheer-the-hero, hiss-the-villian cliffhanger.
