Jacob Reckless results once again towards the Mirrorworld–filled with profound personas, extraordinary creatures, and epic life-or-death treasure hunts that could only come from the mind from the expert storyteller of our era, Cornelia Funke.

Jacob Reckless has just a few weeks still left to live. He’s tried everything to tremble the Fairy curse that exchanged his existence for his brother’s–legends such as the All-Healing Apple, the Well of Eternal Youngsters, the blood of the northern Djinn. Yet hope after wish can be extinguished. After months of fruitless looking, Jacob journeys through his father’s mirror one last time to provide the bad information to Fox.

But right now there they hear of 1 last possibility–an item so legendary that not even Mirrorworlders believe it exists: a crossbow that can wipe out thousands, or heal one, when shot through the heart. But a Goyl treasure hunter can be looking for the prized crossbow. Jacob must think it is first–and in some way convince Fox to do whatever needs doing to save him.
