Yet Tory has a shameful secret―a secret so powerful that, if exposed, it could strip her of her position and disgrace her family forever. Torys blood is tainted . . . by magic. When a shocking accident forces Tory to demonstrate her despised skill, the secret shes fought so hard to hide is revealed for all to see. She is immediately exiled to Lackland Abbey, a reform school for young men and women in her position. There she will learn to suppress her deplorable talents and maybe, if shes one of the lucky ones, be able to return to society. But Torys life is about to change forever. All that shes ever known or considered important will be challenged. What lies ahead is only the beginning of a strange and wonderful journey into a world where destiny and magic come together, where true love and friendship find her, and where courage and strength of character are the only things that determine a young girls worth. Dark Mirror is M.J. Putneys first young adult novel, and its enthralling―an historical fantasy thats both fast-paced and deeply moving.
