About this book

Mr Vane, a young man living in his ancestral house, follows the ghostly old librarian, Mr Raven, through a mirror into a strange other world, a region of the dead and the not-yet-born, where he meets the Little Ones, wild children who never grow up, and the beautiful, terrible Lilith, Adam's first wife, who rules the city of Bulika as a vampire princess. Vane must find the way back, and learn what it means to die into true life.
