Reckless II: Living Shadows
£7.99
Jacob Reckless has only a few months left to live. He’s tried everything to shake the Fairy curse that traded his life for his brother’s legends such as the All-Healing Apple, the Well of Eternal Youth, the blood of a northern Djinn. And yet hope after hope is extinguished. After months of fruitless searching, Jacob journeys through his father’s mirror one final time to deliver the bad news to Fox. But there they hear of one last possibility an item so legendary that not even MirrorWorlders believe it exists: a crossbow that can kill thousands, or heal one, when shot through the heart. But a Goyl treasure hunter is also searching for the prized crossbow. Jacob must find it first and somehow convince Fox to do whatever it takes to save him.
Jacob Reckless’s shadowy adventures continue in the second volume of Cornelia Funke’s spellbinding Reckless series.
Jacob has saved his brother from the Mirrorworld, but now he will pay a terrible price. A fairy’s curse is burning in his heart, and to break the spell he must embark upon a perilous journey – with his trusty friend Fox by his side – to seek out the only treasure that could save him.
Jacob’s search for the golden crossbow will lead him across hundreds of miles by land and sea, to an invisible, enchanted palace within the Dead City. It will bring him face to face with vicious beasts, bloodthirsty giants, and a deadly stone-faced rival.
It will test his courage like never before.
Living Shadows is the second book in the thrilling Reckless series.
