Falina Gatti was born Blessed. Not by a priest or anyone like that, but by the Egyptian deity, Bastet. And because she is Blessed, she has access to a few supernatural abilities. However, being Blessed isn't all it's cracked up to be. Like all the Blessed that came before her, Falina must find a partner and perform the Rites of the Blessed by the time she turns twenty-one or she will become one of the Cursed. Cursed to lose the abilities Bastet gifted her, and eventually, her humanity.

As the owner of a prosperous shop in her large village, Falina is highly sought after as a wife. Finding her partner should be easy. But the girl Blessed by Bastet wants nothing to do with any of them. Despite her tenacious vexation for her suitors, Falina's parents demand she find her other half and perform the Rites of the Blessed.

Taking matters into her own hands, Falina tasks her suitors with a quest: They have one week to find and bring to her - alive and unharmed - the notoriously astute village cat that has never been touched by human hands. The one who could perform such a task would be her partner.

The catch? Falina herself is the cat, and she has no intention of getting caught.
