    The second installation of the genre-busting Obsidian Mirror series that is part Dr. Who, part Blade Runner, and part A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

    “Decidedly—and wondrously—old school. Fisher deftly teases readers with cliff-hanging action, complex yet sympathetic characters with competing agendas, and villains that put a true chill in the reader’s spine.”—VOYA, starred review
    “Engrossing, enthralling fiction.”—The New York Times
    “Gorgeous, atmospheric, and addictive.”—Kirkus Reviews

    One is sent to destroy it. Another needs it to save a life. The third, obsessed with its power, must protect it at all costs. With daring attempts at time travel and a dangerous trip to the faerie realm, Jake, Sarah, and Oberon Venn continue their fight for control of the obsidian mirror.

    But the Mirror has plans of its own . . .
    Catherine Fisher has had a lifelong fascination with myth and history, and has worked as an archaeologist and a poet, as well as a novelist. She is the author of Incarceron, Sapphique, and the Obsidian Mirror quartet, among many others, was named the first Young People's Laureate in Wales, and was called "the first lady of British fantasy" by the London Times.
