Once a respected explorer, Joshua Knight is now called the Tarnished Knight by the press. He took the fall for a devastating event that occurred in the newly discovered sector known as Glass House, a maze of crystal that is rumored to conceal powerful Alien antiquities. Now a recluse, Joshua spends his days trying to unlock the secrets in the looking glasses that cover the walls of an abandoned mansion in the desert. When she hears that the Tarnished Knight has been discovered, ambitious crystal artist Molly Griffin drops everything and heads for the mansion to talk to Joshua, confident she can help him regain control of his shattered senses. He is the key to finding her sister, Leona. Joshua reluctantly allows Molly to stay one night, but there are two rules: she must not go down into the basement, and she must not uncover the mirrors that have been draped. But Molly's only hope for finding her sister is to break the rules.
