In her search for a mythical ring to break her brother Cabell's curse, Tamsin saw the Avalon of Arthurian legend fall and the two people she trusted most betray her. Now, back in the mortal world, the stepfather she thought was dead has returned with a warning: Tamsin is the one who is cursed.

With the dream of Avalon in ruins, Tamsin and her friends are all that stands in the way of Lord Death's plans to unleash the horrors of Anwnn on the world of the living. As the Wild Hunt carves a bloody path across continents, Tamsin is mustering allies, tracking down powerful artifacts, and traversing into new otherlands in search of a way to stop him. Legend tells of a “Mirror of Beasts,” powerful enough to trap even Lord Death in its accursed glass, but the mirror is not all that it seems.

Der Herr der Unterwelt entfesselt seine Rache und nur ein Mädchen ohne Vergangenheit und ohne magische Kräfte kann ihn aufhalten. Zurück in der Menschenwelt, müssen Tamsin und ihre Freundinnen sich dem stellen, was sie über alle Anderswelten gebracht haben: Lord Death ist seinem Gefängnis entkommen und die Zerstörung Avalons war erst der Anfang. Doch er möchte mehr als nur Rache – die Wilde Jagd sucht etwas für ihn und hinterlässt eine blutige Schneise der Zerstörung. Um Lord Death aufzuhalten, müssen Tamsin und ihre Freundinnen den legendären Spiegel der Bestien finden.
