What the reviews say:
'This dark fantasy had me gripped from beginning to end... '
'A clever and suspense-filled first novel.'
'Fast-paced and action-packed... '
Beware the Others who watch our kind for their own enigmatic purposes. Beware of mirrors, for they can be used to spy and observe - and even as doorways should they wish it. But most of all, beware of the Pale Lady, whose malign gaze is fixed and lethal.
Pity the boy in our story. Almost fourteen and beset by problems. Who can blame him for making a wish one desperate night? And it must have been his imagination that when he looked into the mirror the reflection that stared back wasn't him... the alternative was too messed up to bear thinking about.
How frail is our hold on reality?
Soon he will meet another boy who will change his life forever and lead him to a terrifying revelation.
His life, his fate, they are not his to command. He is not even who - or what - he thought he was. The Lady has plans for him in her dark realm and he must learn to kill to survive. She will reshape him and forge him into the perfect weapon. He exists merely to serve her will and to kill as she commands. Her enemies will fall at his hand.
So deep is his conditioning and his terror of his mistress, he can't even think of trying to rebel; the consequences would be too awful.
And yet somewhere within, a tiny sliver of humanity survives, restless, frightened, yet daring to dream of freedom.
