‘A new favourite! Masterful storytelling with creepy magic and a fantastic cat!’
– Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop
Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.
Not to die, but to save – seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.
But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja’s unorthodox methods can save her.
Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow – but nothing seems to work. Nothing, that is, until she finds a secret world hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.
Or it might be the thing that kills them all . . .
