Paws

In the village of Oakhaven, whiskers are strength, and Paws was born with none. Worse, he was born with a curse that will kill him in one year. His only hope for survival is to enter the Whispering Whisker Event, a dangerous competition where the victor is granted a single, life-saving wish from the mystical Great Spirit Tree. To claim his future, Paws must not only overcome the village's strongest warriors but also conquer the monstrous pain consuming him from within. In a world that has already cast him out, can he prove his worth in time to save himself?
