About this book

Summary

A secret recipe. A race against time. A city full of mysteries. Regina, a clever grey rat and Prague’s only rat tour guide, faces the end of her days and the end of curiosity among her kind. With no travellers left to guide and her final hibernation drawing near, she refuses to fade away quietly. Together with her brother Rudolf, Regina sets out to uncover a legendary elixir said to double lifetime. Their search leads them through candlelit pharmacies, hidden catacombs, and the moonlit rooftops of the Golden City. But as the siblings inch closer to the truth, they discover that some secrets are older and more powerful than time. Who said that what works for rats is also good for humans? A heartwarming fairy tale for explorers of all ages who believe that courage and curiosity can change destiny.
