The carnival has always come alive in strange ways... but this Halloween, its magic begins to leak.
Mirrorborn: The Seal of the First Halloween returns to the haunting world of Ronan's Carnival After Dark, where burnt sugar lingers in the air, memories shimmer like reflections, and every light hides a shadow waiting to be remembered.
Four days before Halloween, Alice notices the mirrors behaving differently. The reflections of her old life - streets, porches, and the ghost of a jack-o'-lantern guttering in the rain - begin to flicker within the glass. When Nyx arrives with a warning about a growing "leak" between worlds, Alice and Ronan must race to gather the ancient fragments of the first Halloween before midnight, or risk losing their memories-and their world-forever.
A myth reborn in moonlight, The Seal of the First Halloween blends atmospheric fantasy, haunting romance, and lyrical prose into a darkly enchanting novella that explores the cost of remembering and the power of stories that refuse to fade.

Danielle Bryan writes emotionally charged, genre-blending fiction about survival, identity, and the chaos that lives between. Under her name and pen name Celestine Quinn, she explores stories where love and danger intertwine.
Her debut, Mirrorborn: Carnival After Dark, was praised as "a haunting, lyrical descent into the maze of memory and self."
