Prologue

Deads claim to be alive, stones remember the past, crows whisper to the trees and Charlotte finds no relic for Ankrow, the cabinet of curiosities. However, magic is not foreign to the life of this collector raised by Metamorphosis: creatures with the fabulous capacity to transform themselves so as not to frighten humans and to be able to communicate with them in their dreams as in the physical world. They can take reassuring appearances such as pets, toys or other childish transformations. Although Charlotte grew up with them, a secret they carry remains to be discovered: Adam, a former alchemist from the Celtic Alliances would have hidden a cursed object in the house of 3, rue Alexandre where his fantastic friends live. He is said to have previously researched a mystical tree bearing the name of Excelsior philosophorum, leaving behind a notebook that would evoke a treasure hidden under its roots. Will she manage to elucidate this mystery and finally bring back to Ankrow the relic she so covets?
