Synopsis

Jacob Reckless has spent his life crossing between our world and the Mirrorworld, a place of fairy tales turned dangerous and real. In this third installment, Jacob, his brother Will, and the fox-turned-woman Fox head east, into Russian folklore's darkest corners and the domain of Baba Yaga, while a new kind of enemy — one that knows their world all too well — closes in.

Golden Yarn continues Cornelia Funke's Mirrorworld series with a story of courage and jealousy, where love has the power to save a life or destroy it.
