Sophie hat das große Unglück, die älteste von drei Töchtern zu sein. Jeder in Ingari weiß, dass die Älteste dazu bestimmt ist, kläglich zu versagen, sollte sie jemals ihr Zuhause verlassen, um ihr Glück zu suchen. Und so geschieht, was geschehen muss: Sophie zieht den Zorn einer Hexe auf sich und wird verflucht.
Ihre einzige Rettung liegt im wandelnden Schloss. Dort wohnt der mächtige, aber herzlose Zauberer Howl, der sie von ihrem Fluch erlösen könnte. Wenn Sophie ihm nur davon erzählen könnte, doch das verhindert der Zauber, der auf ihr liegt.
Also wird Sophie die Hausdame des wandelnden Schlosses und versucht zwischen zynischen Feuerdämonen und magischen Welten, ihre alte Gestalt zurückzuerlangen.

Work Description
As the oldest daughter, willful, outspoken Sophie knew that her life could lead to nothing but mistakes. When her father dies, her stepmother sends her two sisters out to make their fortunes while Sophie continues to work in the family hattery. As she whispers her thoughts to the hats she trims, the shop begins to grow in popularity, until she offends the Wicked Witch of the Waste. The witch casts a spell turning Sophie into an old woman. Sophie leaves the shop and happens upon the castle of the Wizard Howl. He has a reputation for finding young women and eating their hearts but that doesn't stop Sophie from moving in and turning the lives of the whole castle, including Howl's apprentice and his fire demon, upside down in a battle against the wicked witch and for Sophie's future.
