Reckless III: The Golden Yarn

The third book in Cornelia Funke's breathtaking Reckless series - a thrilling tale of courage, magic and forbidden love!

After a perilous encounter with an Alder Elf, Jacob must journey into the enchanted Mirrorworld once again.

The Dark Fairy has fled deep into the East to a land of folklore, spies, time-eating witches and flying carpets. As Will recklessly pursues the Dark One, Jacob and Fox have no choice but to follow.

Together they embark on a terrifying journey that will be the greatest test of their friendship yet. But as hidden jealousies and forbidden desires begin to mount, Jacob starts to realise that not only does love have the power to save a life, it can destroy one too.
