With nothing left to lose, Sophie sets out across the hills of Ingary toward the one place that might offer her refuge: a moving castle that shifts across the landscape like a living thing. It belongs to Howl, the dreaded Wizard, a man whose reputation is as dark as his magic—rumour has it his appetite for young girls knows no bounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eBut inside the castle, Sophie discovers something far more complex than a villain's lair. There is Michael, Howl's apprentice, struggling under his master's demanding tutelage. There is Calcifer, a fire demon bound to the castle's heart by a mysterious pact, who offers Sophie an unexpected bargain. And there is Howl himself—vain, mercurial, talented and broken in ways Sophie never anticipated. As Sophie navigates her entanglements with this peculiar household, she begins to unravel the truth behind her curse, Howl's sorrows, and the magic that binds them all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eAt 320 pages, this 40th Anniversary hardback edition celebrates one of fantasy's most beloved, enchanting and endlessly re-readable modern classics.
