The launch of a brand-new series from blockbuster Warriors

author Erin Hunter about two orphaned cat sisters

who discover a secret world of magical creatures . . . and the humans

who are out to control them.

Willow and Luna have been on their own since they were kittens.

After their mother's death, they settled into a scrappy life in

the heart of the city. But when a mysterious fire rips through their

makeshift shelter, they're left searching for a new home.

Luna is immediately drawn in by the strange, secretive animals

they meet in the park - animals who unlock her ability to perform

magic. Willow is less sure about these so-called 'attuned' animals

and has no interest in joining their world - or their fight against

the human witches who seek to 'bind' the animals to them.

As Luna and Willow come to realise their own unique magic, they

find themselves at odds, separated by destiny, with the fate of

the whole city in their paws...

Set against an atmospheric urban backdrop and laced with magic,

this is a daring, high-stakes story where animal and human worlds

collide

Ideal for fans of animal stories and magical fantasy alike, appealing

to readers of Warriors, Impossible Creatures

and His Dark Materials, with a hint of Wicked

Action-packed adventure with themes of freedom, loyalty, belonging,

power and sisterhood
