The Dark Mirror
The Dark Mirror
Paige Mahoney awakens to find herself in unfamiliar surroundings, outside the oppressive Republic of Scion for the first time in over a decade. Struggling with her fractured memory, she realises that half a year has been mysteriously erased from her mind. Determined to uncover the truth, Paige embarks on a quest that takes her through the enchanting and treacherous city of Venice.
During her perilous journey, Paige becomes entangled in a web of secrets that threatens to alter the balance in the ongoing war between humans and immortals. At the heart of this intrigue lies a dangerous revelation that could tilt the scales of power. To thwart the sinister plans of Operation Ventriloquist, Paige must first assist the enigmatic Domino Programme. The stakes rise as she inches closer to rediscovering lost memories that might just be the key to saving Italy.
Integral to her mission is her complex relationship with Arcturus Mesarthim, a mysterious figure who holds the potential to not only restore her memory but also aid in the greater struggle at hand. Their intertwined fates unfold in a world where danger lurks at every corner, and trust is a luxury few can afford.
Lyrical, touching, and action-packed, The Dark Mirror propels the Bone Season series to new heights, showcasing Samantha Shannon's unparalleled ability to weave intricate plots within richly imagined worlds.The Times hails it as "a fabulous, epic fantasy thriller... Lavish, ebullient, escapist," while Katherine Webber praises Shannon as "a master storyteller and wordsmith." According to Grazia, Shannon is "blazing a trail for a new generation of feminist fantasy authors."
Prepare to be swept away by a story that blends the fantastic with the poignant, as Paige Mahoney battles against forces known and unknown, in a bid to reclaim her past and forge a future in a world teetering on the brink of chaos.
