Mirror, mirror on the wall.
What’s behind that fated call?
He’s the seer of present, future, and past,
Yet remains a nameless face entombed in glass.
Raised as a servant in the underwater kingdom of Atlantica, Alastor worked his way up to a regal member of the Royal Guard. Only as a decorated soldier did he stand a chance of winning the hand of the woman he’s loved since childhood … Poseidon’s only daughter, Princess Vanessa. But, when the war against humans rages, dark magics are evoked to give the mermen a fighting chance. Temporarily granted legs, they charge from the sea into a doomed battle.
Doing the bidding of his masters as a trusted pawn,
The claims of his loyalty couldn’t be more wrong.
Waking on land, with bodies all around, Alastor’s lone goal becomes returning to the ocean and the only life he’s ever known. A plan that is quickly diverted when Hades, Lord of the Underworld, appears with a twisted agenda all his own. Cast to a land far from the lapping comforts of home, Alastor’s sole companion is a troubled misfit named Sterling that soon comes to depend on him. Trained to be a hero, how far is Alastor willing to go to return to the woman he loves? And can he live with the sacrifices he's forced to make?
Each day he schemes to break free from their thrall,
and honor a self-made vow … to kill them all.

~~~REVIEW~~~
4/5
Entombed in Glass is the second installment in the Unfortunate Souls Chronicles and follows Alastor, whom you met in Rise of the Sea Witch. It entwines parts of such classics as Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan with a bit of mythology thrown in for good measure. What can I say? Rourke is a master of binding all these elements together with her witchy prowless. This tale is beautifully written but unlike its predecessor, Entombed in Glass is a far more morbid and twisted tale. The macabre of Alastor's mind is broken up by the ramblings of his sidekick, Sterling. You will find that Sterling reminds you of a certain striped cat from another classic. (I really hope he snags his own book in this series!) As always, the story has the author's usual wit and charm caressing the pages. The laughs and the feels leap from the pages in true Rourke fashion. (Get tissues for the beginning!) Another instant hit from this fabulous author!
