Afflicted by an incurable disease, Ayda lives her life in solitude and torment, viewing the world from behind a mask in order to protect people from the sight of her face. As she endures the cruelty of school bullies and her own mother's disdain, Ayda longs to have another life.
And she will get her wish.
In a fiery accident, Ayda is propelled into a new world, but not saved from danger. Torn between accepting her new surroundings and believing herself to be trapped in some kind of a dream, Ayda must protect herself from rogue knights, an unseen supernatural force that hunts her... and from the frailties of her own body.
But as the net of lies and betrayal tighten around Ayda and her two companions, she journeys ever closer to the truth, which could consume an entire kingdom, and her along with it.
The Mirror Queen is the fantastical YA debut from Tethys Maiden.

Every chapter kept me hooked. It was hard to put it down since I wanted to know what was next. The writing is so good I could picture every chapter inside my head. Loved the characters. Honestly one of the best books I've read in a long while.
