Fourteen-year-old Merle lives in enchanted Venice, where beautiful mermaids swim in the canals and majestic stone lions come to life. But for every wondrous sight, there is a dark and dangerous secret: The mermaids have deadly, razor-sharp teeth and the lions are servants to arrogant soldiers. The city’s corruption lies deep, but Merle and her friends—Junipa, a mysterious blonde with mirrors for eyes, and Serafin, a rakish master thief who Merle finds disconcertingly appealing—are about to realize the true extent of the threat. In the world of Dark Reflections, everyone’s motives and loyalties are to be questioned, and it will take and epic and far-reaching battle to save the city.
