Book 1 in the Impurrfect Magic trilogy

Miu is a mage by birth who breaks all the rules of Earthling magic just by existing. Lia is a mage who rents her magic just like everyone else but doesn't know where she fits in society (magical or otherwise). Both abandoned at crucial times in their lives, they find each other and become family, moving to a magical, cat-domewnated town called Purriphery.

But Miu's magic has a destructive streak that haunts many caregivers of magical Chosen One babies: she can't control her magic yet, so instead of being a constructive force, it destroys everything in its path, almost killing Miu in the process. These destructive tendencies' dangerous effects ripple throughout this little town, forcing Lia to dig up not only her painful past, but the heartbreaking story of how Miu ended up alone.

Will Miu learn to control her destructive magical powers before they kill everyone? Will Lia learn how to let go of her past so she can start living her own life? And will the three rules of Earthling magic, along with the powers that run it, ever be dismantled?

Follow along as I figure it out :)

Radioactive Baby Found by Cassava Cat, Taken in by Local Nymph

by Amanda Seriously • September 3, 2016

Local Moonshadow Forest resident, Lia Kazemi, 15 nymph years (18 human years, for those of you new to Purriphery), was taking a walk around her tree neighborhood when she got a frantic mind-call from friend and Enchanted Feline Fellowship Member, Cassava Cat. “She’s the chilliest member of the group, usually,” Lia says in her interview with reporter Amanda Seriously. “But she was FREAKING. OUT. So I knew something was super off about this from the start.”

Cassava Cat found the baby she and Lia eventually decided to dub “Miu” (due to the mewling sound she made when Ms Cassava found her) in the middle of Moonshadow Forest during a midday frolic, right around lunchtime. Miu was abandoned, right in the middle of the forest, and she was in such distress that by the time Ms Cassava got to her, she was pulsating, radiating with red, radioactive energy. *Curiosity got the better of me*, Ms Cassava admits in a recent mind-mail interview with Amanda Seriously, *and I touched her arm. She burned by hand; her radioactive energy was that hot! So, I called Lia, my good friend, for help*.

The young nymph rushed to the scene, ready to use her healing powers to heal Ms Cassava’s paw. She found Ms Cassava in distress, meowing monologues along with the frantic mind-mail. “I knelt down and petted her,” says Ms Kazemi, “but my heart was beating fast. I wasn't sure what would happen to Miu.” But for now, she had to focus on her friend, and healing her paw. “I took her by the paw and gently stroked it a bit, letting the earth-energy come up through the ground and into my arms and hands. I directed the energy to her paw, and felt it mend within my fingers.” As soon as she was sure Ms Cassava’s paw had healed, she turned her attention to the baby, still pulsating. “I had grabbed my ice blanket from when I was a baby and would get intensely hot like this. I was never radioactive though! I never pulsated. This is different. I hadn't seen this before. But at that moment, I just wanted to ensure Miu was okay, so I wrapped her in the ice blanket, and she cooled off shortly after. As she was cooling off, I picked her up (I’m a quarter fire nymph so I can handle the heat) and rocked her and sang to her and did all the things I read that human babies need when they're upset.”

She ended up taking the baby back to her tree to tend to her, as there are no other fire nymphs anywhere close by, so she's the only one that can properly look after this human child.
