Stealer of Souls

Cat Chant has nine lives and is destined to be the next Chrestomanci. He is
not best pleased when young Tonino Montana, a magically gifted Italian, is invited
to live at Chrestomanci Castle. What is so special about Tonino’s powers?
When Cat and Tonino return to Chrestomanci Castle after visiting Gabriel de
Wit, Cat is forced to put aside his animosity towards Tonino when they are abducted
by a particularly evil enchanter, Master Spiderman. Master Spiderman is a ‘collector’
and it will take all the magic power Cat and Tonino can muster to overcome his
plan to become the most powerful enchanter in the world.
