Will sneaks back through the mirror to say goodbye to his girlfriend Clara over the phone. His old friend and mentor, Chanute, tells him that the berries that grow in the garden of child-eating witch may cure Will of the curse of the stone skin. Jacob has already lost both of his parents and cannot bear to lose his brother so he rides off in search of a cure. Jacob knows that the stone will soon invade his entire body, and Will will become one of the Goyl. This curse that turns human skin to stone was created by the Dark Fairy, the Goyl King's lover. As a result of the attack, Will's skin begins turning to stone. Soon after Will arrives, he is attacked and scratched by a Goyl, a humanoid race with stone skin. Twelve years after Jacob finds his way through the mirror, Jacob's brother Will finally follows Jacob into the Mirrorworld. The Mirrorworld is similar to this world, but has not progressed as far technologically, and magic still runs rampant. This world is referred to by Jacob as the Mirrorworld. When he removes his hand, he finds himself standing in front of an identical mirror in an abandoned tower. Finding a note containing cryptic instructions, Jacob presses his hand against the glass to obscure his face. Reckless opens with twelve-year-old Jacob Reckless entering his missing father's study and discovering a strange mirror.
