John “Wondrous” vanished without a trace, leaving behind his sons, Jacob and Will, who are left wondering what happened to him. Only a year later Jacob finds the key to the mystery: a note slipped into one of his father’s books.
"The Mirror will show itself only to the one who cannot see themselves," it said. Solving the riddle, Jacob finds a way into the world where magic lives. There is no fairy tale—whether good or frightening—on the other side of the mirror that doesn’t have some kind of embodiment.
Jacob loves this world even more than his own. He becomes a hunter of magical treasures, gains fame, and experiences plenty of astonishing things. But then, one day, just as he does, his younger brother Will steps through the mirror as well—unaware of the dangers that magic promises. And now, day by day, Will is turning to stone—not only in body, but in soul. People say there is no way to break the curse of the Dark Fairy that struck him, but Jacob is ready for anything to save his brother…
