The Curse of the Romany Wolves
Description
Penhaligon, the dashing apothecary fox, takes on pirates and sea serpents on the high seas as he embarks on a quest to find a cure for a mysterious illness afflicting the creatures of Porthleven. The illness, resembling Febra lupi, the curse of the Romany wolves, has no known cure. Penhaligon discovers a fragment of parchment that may hold the recipe for a cure, but the ingredients are found only on the haunted Howling Island. As he faces obstacles such as pirates, sea serpents, and double-crossing ferrets, Penhaligon must hurry to save his village before it's too late.
