Jacob Reckless has only a few months left to live. He's tried everything to shake the Fairy curse that traded his life for his brother's—legends such as the All-Healing Apple, the Well of Eternal Youth, the blood of a northern Djinn. And yet hope after hope is extinguished. After months of fruitless searching, Jacob journeys through his father's mirror one final time to deliver the bad news to Fox.
But there they hear of one last possibility—an item so legendary that not even Mirrorworlders believe it exists: a crossbow that can kill thousands, or heal one, when shot through the heart. But a Goyl treasure hunter is also searching for the prized crossbow. Jacob must find it first—and somehow convince Fox to do whatever it takes to save him.

Treasure hunter Jacob Reckless is searching the Mirrorworld for a magical cure for the fairy curse that has been put on his heart. He races against death and against other treasure hunters to find a crossbow whose bolt can kill thousands or cure one. Narrator Elliot Hill keeps up with the story's brisk pace while never losing a detail. His Jacob sounds youthful but determined while Jacob's love interest, Fox, is as sly and cautious as her namesake. Magical creatures abound, and Hill breathes life into menacing stone-skinned men; six-eyed Watermen, who prefer living in ponds to land; dwarves; witches; and mysterious dark fairies. Hill brings both this fairy-tale world and Funke's cleverly written tale splendidly to life. G.D. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
