Have you ever stared at yourself in a mirror for too long and started to feel strange? Troubled teen Ayla Fox always wanted to be different, but she couldn't have imagined the world that lay hidden within her bedroom mirror. Struck by lightning during a freak storm, Ayla finds herself able to see things that others cannot and realizes that our world is intimately connected with another, where sorcery, not technology, rules. Within the Mirrorealm awaits her true destiny as a Hybrin, someone who can cross through into other realms where the impossible becomes possible. Hurled into a conflict with a cruel wytch by the name of Terra, Ayla must join a rag-tag band of weary warriors on a desperate mission to locate the mysterious Mirror of Souls and turn the tide of the war...
