'A time-twisting, mind-bending thrill ride . . . I loved it!' - Holly Jackson, bestselling author of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (on The Upper World)
In The Mirror World, we return to Esso and Rhia's epic story as they learn more about The Upper World. Soon they discover they are not the only ones who can wield its power, and that danger is brewing . . .
With her mentor, Dr. Esso, by her side, eighteen-year-old Rhia is determined to make her mark on the hallowed halls of Oxford University - and put the Upper World behind her. But that's all easier said than done when in her first week she overhears talk of the world ending. And when an invite drops under her door to a secret and exclusive society called the Ravens, Rhia must decide whether she'll join the cult-like group to gain answers. Can the Ravens provide the answers to get to the bottom of what's really going on? Or will joining the group open Pandora's box with earth's future at stake? Rhia is about to find out . . .
