Description
The worlds on either side of the mirror are about to collide. And there's nothing Jacob can do to stop them.
After a perilous encounter with an Alder Elf—an immortal, trick-turning creature to whom he owes a great debt—Jacob must journey back into the enchanted Mirrorworld once again.
Together with Fox, his beautiful shape-shifting friend, Jacob has no choice but to follow his brother on the trail of the Dark Fairy, who has fled deep into the East: to a land of folklore, Cossacks, spies, time-eating witches and flying carpets. But what exactly is the Dark One running from? Could it be the same danger that threatens Jacob and Fox?
Reckless III: The Golden Yarn by Cornelia Funke promises a thrilling adventure filled with enchantments and mysteries that span fantastical worlds.
