The carnival appears to those who need it most? the lost, the searching, the ones who ache for belonging.
When Alice awakens at the gates of Ronan's Carnival After Dark, she has no memory of how she arrived?only the unshakable feeling that she was meant to be there. Beneath its lantern-lit tents and whispering mirrors, magic hums like a heartbeat, calling the forgotten home.
There she meets Ronan?the boy with golden eyes who swears she's returned to him before. Around them, the carnival shifts and breathes, revealing echoes of other lives and reflections that remember more than she does. And deep within the glass waits Ecila, the part of Alice she left behind.
The carnival doesn't just grant what you want.
It shows you what you've lost?and what you're ready to find again.
A haunting tale of love, memory, and found family, Mirrorborn: Carnival After Dark invites readers into a world where magic answers longing, mirrors reveal truth, and home is found in the unlikeliest of places.
