"Clara is an ordinary girl, so small and shy that her mum calls her Little Mouse. Then, one day, she meets a cat. A huge, strange, black cat, with glowing yellow eyes. And so begins her new life as a wildwitch. Suddenly, Clara is plunged into a world of mystery and magic. With her Aunt Isa to guide her, she finds she can talk to animals and walk the mysterious Wildways. But then she is captured by the dreaded Chimera."--Back cover.

"Clara has escaped the clutches of the dreaded Chimera. With her mysterious wildfriend Cat at her side she is slowly getting to grips with her new wildwitch powers. Then, one morning, she receives an urgent cry for help: come to the park, one hour before sunset... Before she knows it, the Wildways are calling Clara back. She finds herself drawn to the windswept clifftops of Westmark, where soul-stripped animals roam, and a dark magic waits. There Clara's new-found skills and courage are put to the ultimate test, as she desperately battles to save her friends and defeat an old enemy."--Back cover.

"Clara has been having strange dreams: she is a sparrow flitting under the forest canopy, a snake slithering on its belly across a carpet of leaves, a hawk swooping down on its prey... But soon it becomes clear that these visions are more than dreams, and she senses a dark danger drawing near. As the tension mounts, Clara's magical wildfriend Cat puts himself in danger to protect her. She realizes her only chance of saving him is to journey into the shadowy past of her worst enemy. But is Clara strong enough for the secrets she will find there?"--Back cover.

As Clara turns thirteen she must complete a daunting challenge in order to become a fully-fledged wildwitch, but a series of frightening attacks on her family are distracting her from the crucial task ahead of her. Clara searches for the source of the danger and finds herself drawn further and further into the mystery, towards a deadly battle with Bravita Bloodling that will leave her changed forever.
