The second magical adventure in a major new trilogy - a thrilling blend of edge-of-your-seat action, laugh-out-loud humour and unforgettable characters. No wonder Sony snapped up film rights, to be directed by Pixar animator Doug Sweetland.

A curse has befallen the land of Vastia, eliminating human magic. Only animals are able to cast spells, and it is up to street wise cat, Aldwyn, know-it-all blue jay Skylar, and clumsy tree frog Gilbert to save the Queendom from the evil threatening it. And orphan Aldwyn discovers the truth about his past, embarking on a journey that brings him closer to the father he never knew.

An epic and action filled adventure with a sprinkling of animal magic!
