Lucky Cat and the Gods of War Wendelin Gray

Vengeance comes on soft, black wings. The murder of a Movement double agent draws the superstate's attention back to the sleepy village of Tyosha where Chika Hagiwara has been banished along with her family. Now in possession of the Lucky Cat statue her mother made her as a farewell gift, Chika must elude the robotic sentinels that guard the village to follow the magical cat to a ghostly castle waiting out in the empty plains beyond the village's barbed wire. With Chika's help, the Empress of Nambata Castle begins her assault upon the superstate's supreme capital city with Leader Xing as her main target. Harnessing the power of mystical roses destroyed in the French Alps by the superstate decades earlier, the Empress and her royal court of hinamatsuri dolls bring their own unyielding form of justice to the city. In the wake of the attack, Leader Xing appoints her right hand man General Shulga to head the superstate's new Special Doll Finding and Animal Control Task Force. Along with his son Trofim, Chika's old school friend, they set out to destroy the Empress' allies and find a way to neutralize Nambata Castle.
