About this ebook

🪞🌊✨ 'AN EXTRAORDINARY FEAT OF IMMERSIVE STORYTELLING' - Colin Walsh

🪞🌊✨ 'AN ABSORBING FANTASY' - Charlotte Vassell

Two women lost in grief are drawn toward a magical realm of dreams - and into the path of an ancient evil - in this stunning fantasy debut about the secret places that hide just beneath the surface of our world, perfect for readers of Susanna Clarke, Alix E. Harrow, and Erin Morgenstern.

🪞🌊✨A HIDDEN LOCH 🪞🌊✨

Adrift after the death of her adventurous late husband, Toby becomes increasingly obsessed by their dream of finding a mythical drowned village deep in the Scottish Highlands. So when she discovers an online post that could lead her there - a place where lost things can be found - she becomes desperate to reach it.

🪞🌊✨ AN IMPOSSIBLE REALM 🪞🌊✨

Seventeen-year-old Ash has always told herself she doesn't need anyone. But after her restless mother passes away, Ash is drawn into an enchanted network of houses and caretakers that guard the Mirror Halls, a shadowy domain between the sleeping and the dead. Her mother told her stories of magic all her life, but nothing can prepare Ash for the secrets she uncovers there.

🪞🌊✨ WHAT WILL IT COST YOU TO DREAM? 🪞🌊✨

As Toby and Ash hope to recover what they've lost, they become entangled in a centuries-old mystery that is far darker than either could have imagined. Some places are hidden for a reason . . .

Inspired by the ancient tale the Epic of Gilgamesh, The Mirror Halls is an unforgettable journey to a place where our dreams can reunite us with what matters most - or become unendurable nightmares.
