She can’t even find comfort in Clarey, Lark’s boyfriend and the one person who understands her pain, because Nix’s hidden feelings for him go far beyond friendship. When her depression starts affecting her ability to see colour, Nix gives up on her sketches of the imaginary world of Mystiquel, until her uncle goes missing on Halloween day. As Nix and Clarey become trapped in the sinister and dangerous world of Mystiquel, Nix discovers there’s more to her family curse and otherworldly artwork than she ever imagined.
