Ophelia returned to Anima, her home ark, and for two and a half years has been living as if in winter hibernation: she takes part in the Festival of Hours, visits the Old Archives building, keeps fending off endless advice from her relatives… But her thoughts are far from here—minutes don’t pass without her thinking about the disappearance of Thorne. One day, during a fair, the heroine meets the restless Archibald—he learned how to use the Rose of Winds to move from ark to ark. This is Ophelia’s chance to find her missing husband!
In the new book, the world that readers got to know in the first two volumes becomes even bigger and more multifaceted. The heroes are no longer confined between Anima and the Pole—new paths open up to them among any of the twenty arks. And only to the twenty-first—Arcanterre—the way is unknown to anyone. But before she can solve this mystery and head into the darkest corners of the Universe, Ophelia must visit Babylon. That’s exactly there her inner instinct and love pull her.
The third part of the tetralogy “Through the Mirrors” raises the French writer’s craft to a new level: both the characters and the structure of the invented world become more complex, and at first the plot develops calmly, then grows more and more fast—like a tightly compressed spring. Ophelia gains a new magical ability: in addition to passing through mirrors and reading objects, she can flawlessly recognize hostile intentions and drive away aggressors.
