In book two of the bestselling Mirror Visitor Quartet, "the plots
multiply, the world of the Arks gains depth, details abound, and the
story envelops the reader as the pages fly by." (Le Monde des ados)
When Ophelia is promoted to Vice-storyteller by Farouk, the ancestral
Spirit of Pole, she finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the public
spotlight. her gift--the ability to read the secret history of
objects--is now known by all, and there can be no greater threat to the
nefarious denizens of her icy adopted home than this.
Beneath the golden rafters of Pole's capitol, she discovers that the
only person she may be able to trust is Thorn, her enigmatic and
emotionally distant fiancé. As one influential courtier after another
disappears, Ophelia again finds herself unintentionally implicated in an
investigation that will lead her to see beyond Pole's many illusions to
the heart of a formidable truth.
