What is Starspill about?
In the fog-shrouded town of Starspill, where the Sun has been swallowed by the Wolf for 140 years, apprentice starsmith Zac is thrust into an unexpected adventure. The town's cats, longing for sunlight, coerce Zac into stealing a legendary Ember of the Sun from the museum by taking his treasured map. Joined by his friend Alys, enigmatic bookseller Aurelian, and the spirited kitten Jinx, Zac embarks on a perilous quest through a labyrinthine world, confronting dangers that may lead them to the Wolf himself.
