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...

'A new favourite! Masterful storytelling with creepy magic, and a fantastic cat!' Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop

'A wonderfully offbeat fantasy... as delightful as it is impressive' Heather Fawcett, author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries
