Life has changed greatly since the „Mirror“ appeared in the sky above London, a parallel world reflecting a magical version of the city. Mysterious, addictive blue liquids have become available since, and the powers they lend to users carrying special artefacts, the „Sigils“, are of a dark and dangerous kind.
Orphaned Rayne knows this better than anyone. To use these powers to fight is her only chance to survive in today’s London, however -- and she is good at it, too.
But then she loses control of the magic. There is only one who can save her, the young reigning lord of the Mirror. He gives her a choice: Either the magic that is flowing in Rayne’s veins will kill her – or she must bind her life to the Dark Sigils, the seven artefacts of the Mirror’s ruling dynasties. Forever.
