Academic rivalry is beastly . . . Gwendolynne Chan just needs to get through her final year at Seamere College of Magical Veterinary Sciences. She's used to being the star healer of magical familiars - except when the obnoxious but annoyingly handsome Harrisford Briggs knocks her from the top spot. Harrisford Briggs was born into privilege. His father, the Chief Financial Officer of Magecorp, one of the biggest global distributors of magic, expects nothing less than the best. And to top it all off, incurable swot Gwendolynne Chan is on track to beat him. The last thing he needs are the strange whisperings of uncontrollable surges of excess magic - because Harrisford can't help but wonder if his father and Magecorp has something to do with it . . . When these magical surges cause animals to wreak chaos across London, Gwen and Harrisford are forced to team up. These bitter academic rivals must put aside their duelling feelings of lust and loathing, and - along with Gwen's snarky cat familiar - save the magical world.

The Girl With No Reflection is a lush romantic fantasy debut - perfect for fans of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and Violet Made of Thorns. A princess. A portal. A prophecy. Ying Yue believed in love . . . once. Yet when she's chosen to wed the Crown Prince, Ying's dreams of a fairy tale marriage fall apart. Her husband-to-be is cold and indifferent, confining Ying to her room for reasons he won't explain. And whispers swirl: of seven other brides who mysteriously disappeared after their own weddings. Left alone with only her reflection for company, Ying begins to see strange things in her mirror. And on the eve of her wedding, she unwittingly tears open a gateway and is pulled into another world. The realm is full of sentient reflections, including the enigmatic Mirror Prince. He is kind and compassionate, unlike his real-world counterpart, and before long Ying falls in love. But soon she discovers that the two worlds have a blood-soaked history, and Ying has a part to play in both. And the brides who came before her? By the time they discovered their roles, it was already too late . . .

Kdysi dávno princezna Jing-jüe věřila na lásku. Její pohádkové sny se ale rychle hroutí, když se má provdat za korunního prince.

Ve svatební den ji dokonce vtáhne do zrcadlového světa, kde mají všichni lidé svůj protějšek. I princ. Na rozdíl od toho skutečného je však ten zrcadlový milý a laskavý a Jing se do něj zamiluje. Postupně ovšem zjišťuje, že tyto dva světy mají za sebou dlouhou a krvavou historii a ona je předurčena sehrát roli v budoucnosti obou. Doporučený věk 13+
