His kingdom is crumbling around him, and he has lost his fighting spirit. His people know that without that, they will surely lose the war. While the bombs fall and arrows rain down, a black cat wanders silently amongst them, invisible but for her footprints in the snow.

For she has taken a silent vow to protect the princess who once saved her from drowning as a kitten. Watching her at play, lonely as can be, the cat knows she can never abandon her charge; she must help her and the young prince find each other, even if she is the last one remaining. A beautifully crafted tale by a highly regarded author with delicate illustrations to match by one of Ireland’s rising stars.

￥9.71
"Woo hoo, the girls are back for the fifth instalment of sun, fun and adventure. This time they are hitting the centre of party land....Ibiza! When I saw the title I laughed and tried to imagine what exploits they could be getting up to!! This series is consistently brilliant and so well written. I love how each part of the series unwraps another aspect of the characters and who they really are. I am loving seeing them develop and wish I had gone to uni, made friends like them, and gone off travelling" Jill Loves to Read "I love Aimee Duffy's Summer Flings series more and more with each new novella. I said the same about Point Us to Paris but Ibiza Insanity was absolutely my favourite! This had everything I wanted to see and really developed the plot and characters further to the point where with only two novellas left, I've no idea how things are going to work out" Reviewed the Book "These books are fun, flirty and full of graphic and very hot sex that would get a Nun going ...
