When Cathy left the fairy realm, she never expected to return. After freeing Hex from King Julius' dungeon, she was guilty of treason. But when her brother falls through the portal in her nan's antique mirror, she has to follow, no matter the consequences. Hidden behind the mirror is a realm inhabited by witches, dragons, goblins, and a sorcerer determined to rescue his wife from the horrid Prince Horace. And thanks to Cathy, Hex is now free. He heads toward Horace's castle but soon meets a large talking toad with a story of his own. Once a respectable goblin, Prince Horace cursed Chester for theft, turning him into a toad, and banishing him from court. In need of an ally, Hex offers to break Horace's spell if Chester will guide him into the castle. Eager to return to his privileged life, Chester agrees. However, when Hex hears of Cathy's return, he faces a dilemma: continue on and rescue Rose or turn back and save Cathy. But will Cathy prove she has what it takes to save herself and her brother? Upper middle grade/ lower young adult.
