Charmain Baker is tasked with looking after her Great-Uncle William's cottage, but this is no ordinary house. As the Royal Wizard Norland, William's home is a labyrinth of magical doorways leading to unexpected places. Charmain finds herself responsible for a magical dog, a young apprentice wizard, and a box of the king's documents. Along the way, she encounters a terrifying beast called a lubbock and a clan of small blue creatures. The king and his daughter are desperate to find the lost Elfgift, enlisting the help of the sorceress Sophie. With Sophie, Wizard Howl, and the fire demon Calcifer involved, chaos and revelations are inevitable.

Third in the Howl's Moving Castle series, this book continues the enchanting adventures in a magical world.
