When a fourteen-year-old boy on the edge of despair receives an unexpected second chance, he discovers that hope can come from the most impossible places. A mysterious mirror hidden in his new home awakens something he never dared to wish for—a presence that will transform his life forever.

As darkness spreads through his village—strange disasters, corrupted hearts, a world slowly unraveling—he learns that the gift he received was never meant to be kept.
