An epic clash between evil stepmother and magical cougar
In “Pay Me in Venison,” witness the courage of Prince Andray and his magical spirit guardian, the cougar Fuzzy, as they navigate the treacherous schemes of the evil stepmother, Queen Griselda, in this lighthearted coming of age story.
After Griselda murdered the Princess Sophia and injured Andray, the gods offered Sophia the chance to become a spirit beast to protect her now disabled brother. Despite the price that Weasilli, the trickster god, demanded — losing the memory of who she once was — Sophia accepts the challenge. To liven things up, Weasilli allows her to remember everything else from her education as a princess, because a cougar with expert knowledge of kingdom finance and court etiquette could be funny.
Sophia, now reborn as Fuzzy, joins Andray as he flees for his life to live with the elves. They embark on an epic journey filled with stalwart friends, socialistic goblins, high adventure, and bad love poetry, and return home to confront the wicked rule of their evil stepmother.
