The Mirror: Broken Wish marks the first book in an innovative
four-book fairy-tale quartet written by Julie C. Dao, Dhonielle Clayton,
J.C. Cervantes, and L. L. McKinney, following one family over several
generations, and the curse that plagues it.
*Sixteen-year-old Elva has a secret. She has visions and strange powers
that she will do anything to hide. She knows the warnings about what
happens to witches in their small village of Hanau. She's heard the
terrible things people say about the Witch of the North Woods, and the
malicious hunts that follow...
When Elva accidentally witnesses a devastating vision of the future, she
decides she has to do everything she can to prevent it. Tapping into her
powers for the first time, Elva discovers a magical mirror and its
owner--none other than the Witch of the North Woods herself. As Elva
learns more about her burgeoning magic, and the lines between hero and
villain start to blur, she must find a way to right past wrongs before
it's too late.
