Released- TODAY!
A curse befalls Vastia, eliminating human magic. Only animals are able to cast spells, and it is up to Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert to save the queendom from the evil threatening it. In addition, Aldwyn discovers the truth about his past, embarking on a journey that brings him closer to the father he never knew.

Aldwyn
Oh, it's pretty exciting. Nothing like being an alley cat in Bridgetower. Back then the most exciting part of my day was finding what I'd be eating for breakfast in the garbage. Now I'm assisting a wizard and going on crazy adventures across the land!
You're not working as a spy for Paksahara, are you? No. Okay, in that case, all of human magic has disappeared in Vastia, and it seems the only way to bring it back is for Skylar, Gilbert, and I to find the Shifting Fortress. And the only way to do that is with the Crown of the Snow Leopard. I think I've said too much already.
Following in another's paw prints -- especially someone like your father's -- can lead to some pretty amazing discoveries.
How would you describe your newest adventure in three words or less?
Friendship. Surprises. Indigestion.
If you could trade places with another animal for one day, what animal would you want to trade places with?
A koala bear. All they do is eat and sleep. How could get any better than that?
What's your favorite spell to cast and why?
Me + spell casting = bad combination. Have you seen how many toes my right foot has? I guess you'll just have to read the book.
Skylar:

What do you enjoy most about traveling with Aldwyn and Gilbert?
Gilbert always makes me laugh even when I feel down. And Aldwyn's the most loyal friend I could ever have.
Bring my dead sister back to life. Is that too heavy? I also enjoy a nice bird bath.
Learning spells. I love magic. Plus I wouldn't give up my loyal for anything in the world.
