Somewhere in the Universe, like giant airships, float the arks—shards of civilization. Twenty-one shelters for people, twenty-one worlds with their own laws and customs. The inhabitants of each ark have unique abilities: restoring objects by touch, creating illusory objects, and sometimes even causing pain with the power of thought.

Ophelia is given only two abilities: to read and to pass through mirrors. To read different things—to see their history, to feel the emotions of everyone who has ever touched them—this is true happiness! But… farewell, beloved home of the Family Archives! Farewell, familiar peaceful life! Farewell, Family!

Ophelia’s life is turned upside down on the day she learns that she is promised to be married, and there is no refusing. The girl will have to leave her native Anima and go to the Pole. And this ark is so far away that it’s impossible to fly back through mirrors to Anima… Her fiancé, the aristocrat Thorne, is not happy about the meeting, either. Why? Why did someone decide to relocate Ophelia, an inconspicuous archivist, to the cruel Pole—joining opposites? This riddle still has to be solved.
