In order to stop the cruel Scottish cat king Fergus Finnigan once and for all, Nova und Henry embark on a search for the Collar of Mohar and its four associated charms. Fergus used to wear this magical collar that broke his power. Ever since he managed to take it off, he has been oppressing the cats in his kingdom and made any contact with Felidix, humans who can understand cats and protect them, punishable by law.The collar and charms are hidden in different locations in London. A thrilling search begins, aided by Nova and Henry as well as the other students of the School of the Felidix. The charms symbolise the four British Kingdoms: a rose for England, a dragon for Wales, a shamrock for Ireland and a pheasant feather for Scotland. Woven into this adventurous search is the liberation of Nova’s father from prison. Eventually, the children not only manage to find all the charms and put the collar on King Fergus again, they also come across the goods Nova’s father has been wrongfully accused of stealing.
