Tales of the Mongoose and Meerkat Volume 3: The Redemption of Alness By Jim Breyfogle On Amazon

The exciting final chapter of the adventures of Kat and Mangos is available on Amazon now, in both paperback and ebook!

Two years have passed since the fall of Alness. And two years have passed since the brash young sellsword Mangos teamed up with Kat, the mysterious Alnessi rogue. Together, they have made a name for themselves as the Mongoose and Meerkat!

The northlands still smolder as Rhygir holds Alness in an iron grip. Rumors swirl that an Alnessi royal may have survived, but Rhygir is intent on hunting down any resistance that might rally to a rogue prince who escaped the slaughter.

Though Rhygir has been consolidating power in Alness, the Mongoose and Meerkat have been hard at work, gathering resources and making alliances in Alomar and abroad. But can the new allies and old friends overcome the army of Rhygir before it can be bolstered by elite mercenaries?

All of the pieces of the King’s Game are in place!

Fully illustrated by Dark Filly and Raven Monroe.

Don’t miss out on the thrilling conclusion to Jim Breyfogle’s epic series!
