Jacob Reckless continues to travel the portal in his father’s abandoned study. His name has continued to be famous on the other side of the mirror, as a finder of enchanted items and buried secrets. His family and friends, from his brother, Will to the shape-shifting vixen, Fox, are on a collision course as the two worlds become connected. Who is driving these two worlds together and why is he always a step ahead?

This new force isn’t limiting its influence to just Jacob’s efforts – it has broadened the horizon within MirrorWorld. Jacob, Will and Fox travel east and into the Russian folklore, to the land of the Baba Yaga, pursued by a new type of being that knows our world all to well.

Narrator Jayne Entwistle gives a lively performance, showing listeners both the Mirrorworld and our human world as mortals, fairies, and other magical beings see them. When Will Reckless’s love, Clara, falls into an enchanted sleep, his brother, Jacob, and shape-shifter, Fox, travel across worlds to find a cure. This is a dense story, packed with action and information. Entwistle does a marvelous job keeping the pace quick while portraying determined treasure hunters, shy fae, evil fairies, growly rock men, arrogant kings, and brave soldiers. There are so many wonderful accents! Will and Jacob are American, while the people of the Mirrorworld sound French, Russian, or Eastern European. Entwistle is excellent, a master storyteller bringing a fantasy world to life
