Bert and Will are the twin sons of Baron Charmaigne. They get in to too much trouble and the baron decides to separate them. He decides to send Will, who is more timid, to his brother in The Crags. He will keep Bert at home where he can keep a closer eye on him. But the two trade places, and Bert finds a powerful (and evil) mirror, while Will trains with the knight Andreas.
The first few pages of the story kind of turned me off. It seemed too predictable and dopey. I quickly started to care about the characters and what happened, though. I like how different elements were drawn into the story, and Parley and Elaine were wonderful characters. It will be easy to recommend this to fantasy readers.
