When your mother can only say, “meow,” and you’re not a cat but she is, you know there’s something wrong.

And neither did Zoe or the princess. The two of them must both search for answers about their mothers, and though Zoe's mom is most definitely not a cat, the truth she uncovers is almost as startling to her. How can one find happiness and peace when everything seems so mixed up? And how do you go forward when the past keeps coming back to haunt you? Both Zoe and Zamoria will face numerous twists and turns discovering the first faint hints of an answer to those questions.From jumping horses to flying horses, to fights on the basketball court and epic conquests for a queendom, the worlds of Zoe and Zamoria will keep you guessing…all the way to the end.
