Book Two in the Internationally Bestselling Mirror Visitor QuartetWINNER of the 2021 Prix Albertine Jeunesse
In book two of the bestselling Mirror Visitor Quartet, "the plots multiply, the world of the Arks gains depth, details abound, and the story envelops the reader as the pages fly by." (Le Monde des ados)
When Ophelia is promoted to Vice-storyteller by Farouk, the ancestral Spirit of Pole, she finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the public spotlight. her gift-the ability to read the secret history of objects-is now known by all, and there can be no greater threat to the nefarious denizens of her icy adopted home than this.
Beneath the golden rafters of Pole's capitol, she discovers that the only person she may be able to trust is Thorn, her enigmatic and emotionally distant fiancé. As one influential courtier after another disappears, Ophelia again finds herself unintentionally implicated in an investigation that will lead her to see beyond Pole's many illusions to the heart of a formidable truth.

Praise for The Missing of Clairdelune "Welcome to a darkly enchanting tale [ . . . ] Dabos' second Mirror Visitor novel is a strong and suspenseful fantasy blockbuster which will appeal to both teenagers and adults."-South China Morning Post

"There's magic here, but the true magic is in the writing and translation.
