About Cathy Benedetto:
Ms. Benedetto is a writer, artist and avid reader. Her love
of science fiction and fantasy inspired her trilogy about the mystical race of
warriors known as Shala. Her favorite authors, Anne McCaffrey, Robert Jordan,

high gear.

for the Bellevue Journal American.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Cathy moved to
Lexington, Kentucky in 2003. The former coach enjoys supporting the Kentucky
Wildcats women’s basketball team, woodturning, lapidary arts, and loves fishing
on her pontoon boat. A special joy is playing with David, Charlotte, Kendall,
Lily, and Liz.
Dark Shala
Book Synopsis:
Vigilance reader! There are more battles, more strategies,
more Shala and Fels and most of all more mysteries! Many questions about the
Shala from The Eyes of Sandala have been answered and many new ones arise. The
most pressing question being who are the Dark Shala and what is their place in
the war? But the mysteries do not end there, as new characters bring new
questions and new prophecies as well. The back and forth battles cause each
side to make adjustments in strategy which lead to more suspense and a strong
desire to find how the future will unfold.
The Eyes of Sandala
Book Synopsis:
Like the Navi on Pandora, the exotic warrior race called
Shala dominates the continent of Sandala. Over seven feet tall and as strong as
three men, the dark-skinned Shala share a life-long bond with wild felines. The
fierce fighters are blessed with telepathic powers, and have eyes that radiate
a kaleidoscope of colors.
The Shala live apart from the humans of Sandala, dwelling
inside the crater of an extinct volcano. But when invaders appear, they must
obey the prophecy and rise to defend the land. It will take all the cunning and
guile of their young leader, Tahjeen Tier, to contend with assassination and
betrayal, and a massive army poised to attack.
The King of the Fels
Book Synopsis:
In the exciting conclusion to the Shala Trilogy, Latiga is
under siege, travel mirrors are lost, lovers have been torn apart by the
ravages of war, and the King of the Fels is dying. These are the challenges
that Tahjeen Tier, leader of the Shala, contends with as he confronts the King
of the Fels to find out why he must sacrifice his own people to save the
Sandalese. Is there something special about these particular humans? While
Tahjeen demands answers, the Surmese invaders are poised to launch their own
final two battles — one in the heartland’s frontier, home of the fels, and the
other at Latiga, the capital of Palaton. As humans and Shala gather for the
final battle, Tahjeen learns the truth about his unborn son.
