Reckless 4: Auf silberner Fährte [On Silver Trail] (Dressler Verlag, November 2020).
The fourth installment in Cornelia Funke’s Reckless series finds Fox and Jacob on a journey through Japan to fight for their loves. Jacob, together with his brother Will, searches for a mirror that Sixteen, the girl made of glass and silver, told them about. Will is looking for Revenge while Jacob is searching for security for himself and Fox, to protect them from the longstanding deal that he once struck with Spieler. However, a dead man has other plans, and the mirror they are looking for gives birth to a terrible huntress.
