Set in a magical version of Venice, Italy, The Water Mirror tells of a fantastical world where mermaids swim through the canal-streets, two outcast magicians feud in an abandoned alley, and the whole city lies under a 30-year siege.
When orphaned Merle is sent to work for one of the magicians, she makes some amazing new friends. Eventually, she finds that she is the only person who can save Venice.
This mesmerizing book reads like a walk through someone else’s dream. Strange new characters appear on every page, but you find yourself believing this surreal story all the same. The book is a trilogy, and ends rather abruptly, much like waking from a dream.
