Overview

In a quiet Central European village where the night belongs to peculiar guardians, one voice rises above all others-passionate, operatic, and utterly impossible to ignore. Castellano is Bělov's most celebrated nocturnal performer, a creature of artistic temperament and boundless ego whose serenades shake windows and test the patience of every sleeping soul. His rival, the massive and mysterious Lord Percy, prefers silence and solitude but is constantly drawn into confrontations with the village's insufferable maestro. When a plague threatens their territory, these bitter enemies must choose between rivalry and cooperation. Alongside Grace of the Chimney, Old-Mistress Milka, and a community of guardians who maintain the delicate balance between human settlement and wild nature, Castellano begins a journey from solo performer to reluctant team member-learning that true artistry might require harmonizing with others rather than drowning them out. Told with romantic ambiguity that slowly gives way to delightful revelation, Castellano, Maestro is a tale of community, growth, and the surprising friendships that emerge when we set aside pride for the greater good. Perfect for readers who love stories where animals have rich interior lives, villages feel like characters themselves, and redemption comes not through grand gestures but through choosing, again and again, to be better than our worst impulses. For fans of: Watership Down, The Wind in the Willows, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, and cozy literary fiction with anthropomorphic sensibilities.
