A SISTER'S LOVE, THAT IS ALL THAT MIRA WANTED. Abandoned by her parents, then apprenticed to a witch, Mira is captivated by the witch's other young apprentice a girl with dark beauty and a talent for magic. Mira is overjoyed when the girl adopts her as a sister. She would do anything for this beautiful girl. And that is what her sister bargains on. With the utterance of a simple spell, Mira's life is changed forever. Her body is turned to wood, her face to glass. Her only power is the magic her sister gives her, the power to make her sister a queen. But one day the sister disappears, and where one fairy tale ends, another begins. Mira is left to gather dust until a new hope arrives a peasant girl with troubles and needs of her own. Soon the two are on their way to find a new kind of magic, magic that gives life instead of taking it. But the past can never be forgotten on the path to the future. With a spellbinding mixture of mystery and magic, Mette Ivie Harrison spins a tale of love, lies, and redemption.
