The Alchemists of Vra

The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels, Book 3

By: Thomas Corfield

Narrated by: Thomas Corfield

When dark magic and deceit collide, the biggest threat also becomes the most ridiculous. Forget what you know about heroes: this one’s earless, accident-prone and remarkably ineffective.

In a world where cats and dogs act like people, absurdity reigns supreme.

With Sinson Rascalion threatening to plunge society into darkness, Oscar Teabag-Dooven is once again thrown into the fray. After stumbling upon the arrogant bard The Dodosette and the beautiful cat Vaasi-Vee, the unlikely trio argue their way across the world to do something about it.

With lots of begging, too much snow and a wake of shattered infrastructure increasingly synonymous with these books, they set off on a ludicrous journey into the politically absurd. They did not, however, anticipate having to fight invisible Rottweilers, smash kitchens to pieces, lick frozen cars or fund taxi drivers’ sister’s eye operations. But for Oscar Teabag-Dooven, such absurdity is becoming routine.

Welcome back to the New Fable fiction genre, where fluffy just got dangerous.
