Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale

Selina Kyle is fiercer than she knows. For fourteen years, she’s put up with her mother’s endless string of bad boyfriends, burying her resentment just below the surface. But when Dernell, her mom’s current boyfriend, proves crueler than all the others combined, Selina reevaluates her dismal life. There’s no way Selina and Dernell can live under the same roof, and since Dernell won’t leave, Selina must. Life on the streets is rougher than Selina expects, however. In fact, it pretty much sucks—until by chance (or fate?), she falls in with a heist-happy gang of street kids like herself. What Selina doesn’t see coming is how appealing life in a pack can be, and how tempting it is to accept the comfort that comes from trusting others, especially in crime-riddled Gotham City. But trust leads to vulnerability, and vulnerability leads to weakness—and Selina Kyle refuses to be weak. As friendships deepen and bonds grow, Selina struggles with her very nature: Can she run in a pack and maintain her independence?
