Vows of Glass and Quicksilver

In the City of Glare, memories are immortal. But the truth is fading.

Argentis is a metropolis built of mirrors and polished silver, designed to capture the dying light of a suffocated sun. In the toxic "Fumes" of the lower districts, Tamsin Vane works as a "Reflection Wiper." An illegal Amalgamist, she erases the digital souls trapped in Ancestral Mirrors for families who can no longer afford the storage fees-a violation of the city's holiest law: The Right to Remembrance.

Dorian Stroud is the Inquisitor of the Looking-Glass. Blind to the physical world but gifted with "Silver-Sight," he sees everything reflected in the city's millions of surfaces. He is the enforcer of the Perpetuity Act, a cold hunter tracking the criminal who dares to delete the past.

When Tamsin is hired to wipe a high-profile mirror, she accidentally absorbs a consciousness that shouldn't exist. Now, with the mercury in her blood pushing her toward madness and the Inquisitor closing in, Tamsin discovers that the mirrors aren't just storing memories-they are fabricating them. To save herself, she must ally with the man sworn to destroy her, before the city's fragile reflection shatters for good.

A sharp, psychological Dark Romantasy where every surface is a spy, and love is the only thing the mirrors cannot predict.
