Secondo volume della saga dell'Attraversaspecchi (dopo il primo, "Fidanzati dell'inverno"). Sulla gelida arca del Polo, dove Ofelia è stata sbattuta dalle Decane perché sposi suo malgrado il nobile Thorn, il caldo è soffocante. Ma è soltanto una delle illusioni provocate dalla casta dominante dell'arca, i Miraggi, in grado di produrre giungle sospese in aria, mari sconfinati all'interno di palazzi e vestiti di farfalle svolazzanti. A Città-cielo, capitale del Polo, Ofelia viene presentata al sire Faruk, il gigantesco spirito di famiglia bianco come la neve e completamente privo di memoria, che spera nelle doti di lettrice di Ofelia per svelare i misteri contenuti nel Libro, un documento enigmatico che nei secoli ha causato la pazzia o la morte degli incauti che si sono cimentati a decifrarlo. Per Ofelia è l'inizio di una serie di avventure e disavventure in cui, con il solo aiuto di una guardia del corpo invisibile, dovrà difendersi dagli attacchi a tradimento dei decaduti e dalle trappole mortali dei Miraggi. È la prima a stupirsi quando si rende conto che sta rischiando la pelle e investendo tutte le sue energie nell'indagine solo per amore di Thorn, l'uomo che credeva di odiare più di chiunque al mondo. Sennonché Thorn è scomparso... Edizione in lingua inglese.
