Book description
A daughter of evil. A renegade shapeshifter. A defiant friend. Who is
the most dangerous? Cat Connolly is a Thyla now. She's not sure where
her life is heading, but she knows she doesn't want to go back to the
human world. But all is not well among the shapeshifters. The treaty
between the Thylas and the Sarcos is causing tension and the malevolent
Diemens are still on the hunt. Then into Cat's life wanders someone who
should be an enemy but acts like a friend - and everything changes
again. She discovers more about shapeshifters and Diemens, about Tessa,
and about her own heart. Vulpi continues the story of Tasmania begun in
Thyla. It is the story of how the shapeshifters were created, and a clue
to what they might become. It is the story of what happened to Cat, and
about the decisions we all must make as we learn how to be. Kate
Gordon grew up in a very booky house, with two librarian parents, in a
small town by the sea on the north-west coast of Tasmania. In 2009, Kate
was the recipient of a Varuna writer's fellowship. Her first book, Three
Things About Daisy Blue - a young adult novel about travel, love,
self-acceptance and letting go - was published in the Girlfriend series
by Allen & Unwin in 2010. Now Kate lives with her husband and her
very strange cat, Mephy Danger Gordon. Every morning, while Kate writes,
Mephy Danger sits behind her on the couch with his tail curled around
her neck. Kate was the recipient of a 2011 Arts Tasmania Assistance to
Individuals grant, which means she can now spend more time losing
herself in the world of Thylas and Sarcos.
