Description
Mirror mirror, hear my call...
In the Fire world, seventeen-year-old Leah is the illegitimate daughter of one of the realm's most powerful lords. She's hot-blooded - able to communicate with the tempestuous volcano gods that either bless a civilization or destroy it. But then Leah discovers she's a Caller, gifted with the unique - and dangerous - ability to "call" her Otherselves in mirror worlds. And her father will do anything to use her powers for his own purposes.
In the Water world, Holly nearly drowns when she sees - and interacts with - Leah, a mirror image of herself. She's rescued by Ryan, a boy from school with a secret he'd die to protect. Little do they know, his Otherself is the son of a powerful volcano god at war in the Fire world...and he's about to fall.
As Leah and Holly's lives intersect, the Fire and Water worlds descend into darkness. The only way to protect the mirror worlds is to break every rule they've ever known. If they don't, the evil seeping through the mirrors will destroy everything - and everyone - they love...
Advance Praise
"Well, book, I'm not saying I didn't have high expectations, but your look and your high-fantasy approach had me cautious. I found myself sucked in, though, and now I’m a firm believer - I would totally go out with you again. Call me?" -Forever Young Adult
5 stars: "Nicole Luiken introduces a different take on mirror worlds, and I was instantly enthralled. Deftly juggling two storylines and worlds, the book is engrossing. I don't read a whole lot of YA, but evidently I'm missing out! Great mix of fantasy and paranormal romance with engaging heroines, swoon-worthy heroes, and a fascinating villain -- a great villain can make a book!" -Jenny Schwartz, Amazon Reviewer
5 stars: "The author did an amazing job in her world-building, in crafting such a unique setting and story concept. This story seemed to have it all. There is a fantasy world, magic, divergent settings, romances to die for, and an amazing villain. The writing was simple when it needed to be, poignant at other times, and tight and fast at others. It sucked me in so quickly and kept my attention riveted. The pacing was spot on, and before I knew it, I looked up and I was done with the book. I will definitely be looking for the second installment in this series. This was an amazing, spellbinding start that swept me away completely." -Shannon, The Tale Temptress
4.5 stars: "This book was AWESOME! It mixes high and low fantasy with two stories which could almost exist as totally separate from one another. I found myself entwined in both books so much that I didn't even care which main character I was reading about, I was just happy to be there! The plot, the complexity of the story, the interwoven tales and the writing was what really grasped me and enticed me, creating a great novel!" -Dion, Goodreads Reviewer
