Synopsis
The Silver Tracks, the fourth Reckless novel, finds Jacob and Fox traveling to the Far East in search of Will, Jacob's brother, who has been journeying with the rival hunter Nerron. Jacob reluctantly joins the pair on a quest toward the Island of the Foxes in search of another magical mirror, hoping to resolve unfinished business tied to his brother even as he tries to build a settled life with Fox. Their expedition quickly turns dangerous as threats from glass and silver hunters sent by a hostile Alderelf converge on the group, and a disturbing promise Jacob once made in an earlier book begins to threaten the fragile happiness he and Fox have found together.
