Alex is a boy with a dreadful life that has brought him nothing but anger, loneliness, and self-hatred. The only person he wants to connect with—his lovely, cheerful friend Emily—seems somehow as unreachable as inner happiness.
But this life is suddenly uprooted when he is taken from Earth to another world by a council of mages who tell him of an old legend in which he is their destined hero: the Seeker of the Mirror.
Together with a few devoted allies, Alex must locate the Mirror of Shadows on a secret journey through an entirely new world while avoiding dark forces who plan to capture him and condemn the world to undying darkness.
