The Adventures of Trash Rat

Magic lies in the center of Raminath, but the path that leads there is full of pitfalls, predators, and an army of Acolyte soldiers. However, one rat has made a vow to find the Core and set things right in the land once and for all.

Only he can't do it alone.

After a foretold disaster tears his life apart, Almond, a rat from the Heaps, gathers what he can and sets off on an adventure to make good on a promise he'd made to his sister. His best friend Oumar, a raccoon who knows his way around Raminath, joins him on the journey to Raminath's Holy Land.

Hungry mouths, deadly claws, and a group of religious zealots who want to stop Almond and Oumar from finishing their quest surround them. Even Oumar's father, a former warlord named Zed, is out for the blood of his son as the duo makes their way across Raminath to find what secrets have been stored at its Core. Can they get through treacherous places like the insidious Haven Ghetto, the nigh impossible maze of The Rat King's Passage, and the putrid Sea of Cockroaches while being pursued in every direction?

The Adventures of Trash Rat weaves the reader through a perilous world of garbage and magic. Giant, hulking beasts called Providers bring bounties of food and supplies, but they come with the cost of an ever-changing landscape. The animals of Raminath have dug deep into the land creating a maze of tunnels and hiding places as they live their lives while playing the never-ending game of predator and prey. There's no telling what lurks in darker places. If anyone knows for sure, it's the Acolytes, and they aren't telling anyone their secrets.

This marks Aegan's tenth book, and his first foray into a fantasy world of anthropomorphic characters inspired by books like The Rats of NIMH and Watership Down.
