Jake desperately wants to find out what happened to his father, who he believes was murdered by the mysteriou...
If I had to describe The Obsidian Mirror in one word it would be: rebel. No, this book is not about some revolution but it simply rebels and defiest to be labeled. I really had problems tagging it.
