The cat, also called the domestic cat or house cat, is a small feline carnivorous mammal of the subspecies Felis silvestris catus. Its most immediate pre-domestication ancestor is the African wild cat, Felis silvestris lybica.

The history of the domestic cat may stretch back even further, as 8,000-year-old bones of humans and cats were found buried together on the island of Cyprus.

The last of the elder dragons was slain long ago, and ever since his death, the world has been beset by violence, poverty and the many other evils that vex humankind. After Wyc the minstrel relates the tale of Sir Ulryc and the Last Dragon to the court of the warmongering King Adryc, the king decides to recover the dragon's treasure from Mount Dragonheart. However, the secret of how to reach the inaccessible mountain is known only to the monks of Elyon. When the king’s soldiers invade High Dragon monastery looking for the secret way, young Tercyn and four squabbling monks escape into the mysterious Land of Dragons carrying the monastery’s most sacred relic, the Eye of the Dragon. To save the monastery, all five must overcome their own personal dragons and somehow find a way to defeat the king’s soldiers. Dragongate is both an imaginative tour de force and an exploration of the causes of human suffering and how to overcome them.
