Some mirrors show more than reflections. Some reveal the truth.

In the quiet town of Starbrook, Evelyn Thorne leads a life of precision and propriety—by day. But by night, she searches for answers in locked rooms, shadowed corridors, and ancient texts best left forgotten.

When an impossible mirror arrives at her doorstep—cracked, cold, and humming with power—Evelyn is pulled into a world beneath her own. A world of feathers, silence, and celestial eyes that never close. There, memories unravel. Ghosts whisper. And the line between the self she presents and the truth she hides begins to vanish.

But the Eye of Astariel sees everything—and it does not blink.

As Starbrook's strange disappearances mount, Evelyn must confront the secret buried deepest of all: the cost of knowing who you truly are.

Atmospheric, haunting, and beautifully strange, The Eyes of Astariel is a gothic fantasy debut that lingers long after the final page.

Perfect for fans of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Death of Jane Lawrence, and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
