Lost. Alone. Desperate. Hopeless. Unwillingly taking on her new role as Wandelaar and the only Mirror Walker in existence, determination through the sense of overwhelming dread is all Ecko feels, all she knows as she stumbles through a dark, forbidding swamp on an unfamiliar God-forsaken world. It seems like everything is against her. Her evil, diabolical father wants to capture her and steal her magic. Her twin sister, who is just as bad as their father, wants nothing more than to destroy her and everything she holds dear. This entire vampiric world and all its inhabitants want to capture her, kill her, or eat her... or worse. And it can be worse than death. Just ask poor, dumb Blaxx. A screaming Willow tree ate him, and now all that's left of him is his face, permanently embedded in the bark. And he's still alive, trapped there for all eternity. Ecko must find a way out of the Sorrow Marshes, if not for herself, then for the ugly little creature that has become her closest friend. She must somehow find a way off this terrible world. She must stop her sister and put an end to her father's terrible reign over this and many other lands. All she needs is a mirror, and she'll be able to travel to all those other worlds that need her help. But this world has no mirrors, and every step she takes lands her in a new, terrifying predicament. Her only hope is to find Khalidah and the mysterious EverGlass. The Eternal One is the only one who can help her. She'll meet many friends along the way, but she'll encounter just as many enemies. All she has to do is stay alive long enough to distinguish between the two. She can do that. No big deal. Right?
