The House of Hollow Mirrors

In a dying empire, the most dangerous truths are the ones trapped in the glass. Exiled historian Eira Vale is offered a lifeline: catalog the ancient archives of the mysterious Hollowmere Manor. But its master, the immortal Lord Thalen Morvane, hides a dark purpose. His manor is a prison, its countless mirrors filled with trapped souls and whispering entities known as the Mirrorborn. As Eira delves deeper, she uncovers a forbidden history. The fall of the gods was a lie. The Sundering was a prison break contained, and the Morvanes are the corrupt wardens. Now, Thalen seeks to use Eira's unique bloodline to power a terrible device—the Great Lens—to reshape reality and restore the empire's former glory. But his act of creation would unleash the devouring Mirrorborn upon the world. Trapped within the shifting, claustrophobic halls of the manor and hunted by a zealous priestess who sees heresy in every reflection, Eira is caught between three devastating choices: side with the priestess and destroy the mirrors, damning every soul within; embrace Thalen's obsession and become a goddess of a ruined world; or risk everything on a third path—to free the prisoners and shatter the prison forever. The House of Hollow Mirrors is a chilling dark fantasy epic of gothic intrigue, cosmic horror, and the fragile nature of identity. Perfect for fans of gothic atmosphere, intricate magic systems, and morally complex characters.
