The Mirror of Beasts

By: Alexandra Bracken

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Alexandra Bracken is back with the electrifying sequel to SILVER IN THE BONE, in which fresh betrayal ignites ancient magic to wake the dead, and a cursed girl with no magic of her own must put the past to rest.

With the dream of Avalon in ruins, Tamsin and her friends are all that stands in the way of Lord Death's plans to unleash the horrors of Anwnn on the world of the living. As the Wild Hunt carves a bloody path across continents, Tamsin is mustering allies, tracking down powerful artifacts, and traversing into new otherlands in search of a way to stop him.

Legend tells of a “Mirror of Beasts,” powerful enough to trap even Lord Death in its accursed glass, but the mirror is not all that it seems. Tamsin must confront her own darkest secrets if she hopes to tap the mirror's strength to defeat her enemies.

Arthurian legend bleeds into contemporary action, and scars of the past are torn open anew by a starcrossed love that refuses to go quietly. This riveting conclusion to the Silver in the Bone duology will hold you in its thrall until the very last page.

Critic reviews

"With numerous plot twists and surprising reveals, this epic story, which features a racially diverse cast, wraps up with a satisfying ending." —Kirkus Reviews

"A satisfying, character-driven story with deeply ingrained stakes that supplement adept worldbuilding...an excellent end to a clever and creative duology." —School Library Journal

Twists and turns galore!

Once again, the first of a series is good. But the second just gets better! Just when I thought I had the mystery of Tamsin figured out, I find I’m wrong. Or am I? Another twist near the end proved me right the first time! This one is a wild ride with twists and turns. Deceptions. Hurt. Truths exposed. Things aren’t always as they seem! And the narration for the audiobook was superb. It’s a great twist on the legend of King Arthur.

Excellent sequel!

This book did a great job of expanding the world beyond the first book and wrapped everything up well. There was a revelation at the end that struck me as a little weird, and I don't know how to feel about it. But overall, this book was great! Indiana Jones with a touch more fantasy!

Great story, great performance

The story was well written and interesting. I was captivated and the narrator was great.

Always Great

I’ve read through 7 of Bracken’s books so far and have yet to be disappointed

Bad voice

Very very monotone and bad voice. Really hard to want to listen to any of it
