In this stunning sequel to Howl's Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones has again created a large-scale, fast-paced fantasy in which people and things are never quite what they seem. There are good and bad djinns, a genie in a bottle, wizards, witches, cats and dogs (but are they cats and dogs?), and a mysterious floating castle filled with kidnapped princesses, as well as two puzzling prophecies. The story speeds along with tantalizing twists and turns until the prophecies are fulfilled, true identities are revealed, and all is resolved in a totally satisfying, breathtaking, surprise-filled ending. Abdullah was a young and not very prosperous carpet dealer. His father, who had been disappointed in him, had left him only enough money to open a modest booth in the Bazaar. When he was not selling carpets, Abdullah spent his time daydreaming. In his dreams he was not the son of his father but the long-lost son of a prince. There was also a princess who had been betrothed to him at birth. He was content with his life and his daydreams until, one day, a stranger sold him a magic carpet.

Cat Chant and Marianne Pinhoe have discovered something incredibly exciting, truly precious, and very strange--an egg. This egg was not meant to be found. Chrestomanci himself, Cat's guardian and the strongest enchanter in the world, is sure to find it particularly interesting. And that's the last thing Marianne's family of secret rogue witches wants. But the Pinhoes' secrets are falling to pieces, and powerful spells are wreaking havoc across the country-side. Marianne and Cat may be the only two who can set things right--if Marianne accepts her own powerful magic, and Cat solves the mystery behind the mystical Pinhoe Egg.

Edes fantasiamaailma ei ole vapaa rahan vallasta. Kahdeksan vuotta sitten herra Chesneyn riistoturismille pantiin piste. Mutta turistit toivat kuitenkin rahaa. Nyt heitä ei enää saavu ja velho Corkoran johtaa velhojen konkurssikypsää yliopistoa löysin rantein. Corkorania kiinnostaa kuumatkailu enemmän kuin yliopisto, joten hän päättää lähettää rahankeruukirjeitä uusien opiskelijoiden vanhemmille. Corkoran myös valikoi omiksi oppilaikseen tulokkaista rikkaimmat. Yllätys on täydellinen, kun velho Derkin tytär osoittautuu suureksi kultaiseksi aarnikotkaksi. Kuningas Lutherin poika on tyhjätasku, keisarin sisarpuoli on joutunut senaatin hampaisiin ja kääpiö Ruskin paljastuu pohatan sijasta paenneeksi orjaksi. Olga ei suostu kertomaan taustastaan mitään. Felim taas on tullut velhokouluun salaa, ja hänellä onkin hyvät syyt pitää matalaa profiilia…Ja vastaukseksi rahankeruukirjeisiin yliopisto saakin niskaansa sekalaisen joukon salamurhaajia ja suuttuneita sukulaisia. Diana Wynne Jonesin maailma on täynnä inhimillisiä ja epäinhimillisiä persoonia. Aarnikotkan vuosi on itsenäinen jatko-osa innostuneesti vastaanotetulle Derkinhovin Mustalle ruhtinaalle.
