What's the story?
Oliver, an American boy living in Paris, is accidentally taken for the new King in the Window, the leader of the Window Wraiths. In trying to fulfill this role, he discovers that the Wraiths, who live only in windows, are in a centuries-long struggle with the evil Master of the Mirrors. At Versailles, Oliver meets the Wraiths, among them Moliere, Racine, and others from the court of Louis XIV

Aided by his skateboarding American friend, Charlie, Mrs. Pearson, a snippy but wise (well, actually witty) old British woman, and Neige, a French girl who is a crystalomancer, Oliver enters the Way, the reverse world of mirrors. There he meets Nostradamus, and discovers that the Master steals souls and intends to control all of the multiverse revealed by quantum physics. He commands an army of soul-stealers, while Charlie has only his friends, his brains, the Wraiths, a group of terrified children, and a pack of skating teens.
