A whirlwind of astonishing events and changes sweeps Ophelia up. Just yesterday, the girl was a new person on the Pole, not understanding what was happening around her. And today she is at the center of a grand intrigue! She is about to go on a date that many residents of the Pole have dreamed about for decades: day by day, Ophelia will meet Faruk himself, the Spirit of the ark.

In the second book of the “Through the Mirrors” series, the heroine no longer looks like a child lost in the mysterious world of adults. Finally, she gets a chance to take fate into her own hands! And, by the way, hands here will help better than ever: in the very tips of her fingers, carefully hidden under gloves, lies magical power. For such a gift, even Faruk is ready to give up a great deal—and the unwanted fiancé of the heroine, the cunning and unpredictable Thorne, could even kill…

Krysel Dabo’s fantastic world—split into arks floating throughout the Universe—grows more detailed, and now its laws are familiar to readers. However, that only makes fewer surprises—on the contrary, with every chapter, the story of the girl from Anima, who was forced to move to the Pole against her will, develops even more unexpectedly. How can she protect her priceless talent of a reader from other people’s ambitions and greed? How can she survive in a pen with predators? These riddles await Ophelia.

The tetralogy “Through the Mirrors” by the French writer Krysel Dabo (born in 1980) is an entire alternative reality—intricate and unpredictable, but thought out down to the smallest detail. The first volume’s worldwide print run exceeds 500,000 copies, and the French-language internet is filled with fan art based on stories about Ophelia. The first book, published in 2018 by “KompasGid,” instantly became a hit, and the continuation is a real gift for Russian fans of Krysel Dabo.
