Ecko in the Dark: Mirror Walker
With the arrival of her eighteenth birthday, Ecko does not receive typical material gifts, all wrapped up in boxes and gift bags and tied with pretty ribbons and bows. Instead, she receives the gift of knowledge. But along with that knowledge comes the inevitable questions, self-doubt, and fear. She learns that she's not human and that she comes from a world called Irredarr. Presumably, she is the Wandelaar heiress, the only Mirror Walker in existence, and with that title comes a wealth of suppressed magic. That explains why she's always been able to see things in the mirrors- the magical worlds, fairy tale creatures, and otherworldly, mystical people that no one else could ever see.
She learns that the girl in the mirror that has stared back at her since she was a small child is not merely her reflection but is, in fact, her evil twin... and she is determined to come through the mirror to destroy all that Ecko holds dear. She discovers that she has a powerful, diabolical father who will stop at nothing to capture her and steal her magic for his own selfish desires and that she must somehow find a way to stop them both. The fate of entire worlds depends on it.
When her magic awakens, and she inadvertently opens a mirror, her twin wastes no time in yanking her through it and exchanging places with her. Now, stranded in a hostile, vampiric world, Ecko must not only find a way to get back home and stop her sister from destroying her own world, but she must also put an end to her father's villainous reign and save the lands that his evil has irreverently tainted.
Though she travels through this new dark and hostile land fraught with danger and terror stalks her every step, Ecko meets an unlikely friend. This quirky, grumpy...ugly little creature helps her out of the numerous, nearly disastrous predicaments she lands herself in.
Follow along as Ecko stumbles across an endless beach along a forbidding, nightmare-inducing ocean, through dark forests, and a terrifying, dismal swamp where predators lurk around every dead and blackened tree. But don't get too close. Don't you dare. Even the trees will eat you, if you let your guard down. Trust nothing. Fear everything. Pray that you survive
