The strange story of Princess Gaya and how she lived not one, but nine lives—just like a cat.

An extraordinary tale presented in an unusual way, with sumptuous artwork by Régis Lejonc. Princess Gaya is watched over by a guardian, half-man and half-cat, who works in the service of Death. When she was born, the Princess was told that she would live nine lives, each one a century apart. The guardian follows her from Europe in the Middle Ages to the Caribbean in the 17^th century to Mexico today, sharing her experiences with her.
