A young princess is chosen as the crown prince’s bride—but a dark secret waits for her just beyond the palace mirrors, in this lush fantasy debut perfect for fans of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and Violet Made of Thorns.

A ROYAL WEDDING. A CENTURIES-OLD SECRET. A WORLD-SHATTERING LOVE.

Ying Yue has been chosen to marry the crown prince, but her life at the imperial palace is no fairy tale. Worse than her cold and mercurial husband-to-be are the many secrets her new family is keeping. And when, on the eve of her wedding, Ying unwittingly tears open a gateway, she discovers the biggest of them: a world of sentient reflections, hidden within the palace's mirrors.

The mirror world is full of marvels, including the enigmatic and charming Mirror Prince. But there is darkness, too. The two worlds have a long and bloody history, and Ying has a part to play in the future of them both. And the brides who came before Ying? By the time they discovered what their role was, it was already too late.
