When Irene Madoc inherits her eccentric aunt's decaying estate, she also inherits something far stranger: a towering antique mirror cloaked beneath velvet and silence. The will warns her to leave it covered. She doesn't.
At first, the mirror shows harmless oddities-reflections slightly off, delayed smiles, eyes that seem to think. Then it starts offering glimpses of a better life. A version of Irene that's bolder, freer, and deeply fulfilled. When those visions start crossing into reality, Irene believes she's being guided-until the guidance becomes manipulation.
As forgotten sketches emerge, timelines begin to shift, and pieces of herself start vanishing, Irene uncovers a trail of others who have stood before the glass. . . and never walked away the same. The mirror doesn't reflect-it remembers. And sometimes, it replaces.
Now Irene must decide how much of herself she's willing to trade for a future that might not be hers at all.
Is it destiny calling from behind the glass-or something much older, and far more dangerous?
