Echo Alkaev's safe and carefully structured world falls apart when her
father leaves for the city and mysteriously disappears. Believing he is
lost forever, Echo is shocked to find him half-frozen in the winter
forest six months later, guarded by a strange talking wolf--the same
creature who attacked her as a child. The wolf presents Echo with an
ultimatum: if she lives with him for one year, he will ensure her father
makes it home safely. But there is more to the wolf than Echo realizes.
In his enchanted house beneath a mountain, each room must be sewn
together to keep the home from unraveling, and something new and dark
and strange lies behind every door. When centuries-old secrets unfold,
Echo discovers a magical library full of books- turned-mirrors, and a
young man named Hal who is trapped inside of them. As the year ticks by,
the rooms begin to disappear and Echo must solve the mystery of the
wolf's enchantment before her time is up otherwise Echo, the wolf, and
Hal will be lost forever.
