Castlecatz Manor Vol.4: The Tower of Pearls

Content : The final instalment of the bestselling series!

Summer awakens at Castlecatz Manor.
Marked by the tragedy of Ostara, Kovhan, Bruyne, Serenya and Lexios continue their studies at Castlecatz. To become Novices, they must face the flames of the Fourth Quarter. But are they strong enough to confront the terrible Guardian of Fire, Kalha Maé?

Meanwhile, the threat grows stronger. Soon, it will be too late: The Mists devour everything in their path. To defeat them, the Archon Zozime is preparing an expedition to the ends of the world. In the eyes of the enigmatic Arzhel, only an alliance with the batra-toads can eradicate the danger by solving the mystery of the Tower of Pearls. But will the demon succeed in convincing the feline and amphibian peoples — divided by everything — to unite?

An original world in which cats practise magic, draw pentacles, and summon demons within an intriguing school of magic, filled with objects and inventions each more eccentric than the last.

Endearing and moving characters: Kovhan, a clawless cat who must fight to turn his difference into a strength; Bruyne, a food-loving and cheerful cat bursting with good humour; Lexios, a mute cat who speaks through his musical instrument; Serenya, a shy yet highly intelligent cat…
