Y. R. Liu’s 2024 The Whisperer in White is a stand-alone young-adult coming-of-age secondary-world fantasy.
Magistrate’s daughter Talia loves hunting. Her father’s insistence that her older brother Oren chaperone her on her expeditions is an affront. After all, how often could Talia’s habit of lobbing arrows at targets she cannot clearly see come back to haunt her?
Luckily for Talia, she does not manage to skewer Oren or even a young woman with her apron wrapped about her whom Talia took for a swan. Talia (non-fatally) impales a cat.
A talking cat.
