Aaina is a curious and introspective 16-year-old girl who has always felt a bit out of place in the world around her. Quiet and thoughtful, she tends to keep to herself, finding understanding in the reflections of the world, whether it's in the glass of her bedroom window or the still surface of a pond. Suddenly when she's at school, she trips and falls on a mirror, not too long after, her reflection comes to life.
At first, Aaina thinks she's imagining things, but when the reflection speaks to her, warning her of a hidden power she's unaware of, she realizes that her life is about to change in ways she never expected. The reflection explains that Aaina has inherited an ancient ability, that is only gifted to a human every one thousand years, making it so she can travel between dimensions through mirrors. Each mirror acts as a portal, leading her to alternate realities, each one more bizarre and dangerous than the last.
As Aaina grapples with this newfound power, she must learn to navigate the complexities of these parallel worlds, all while uncovering the mysteries behind the mirror's magic. But the more she explores, the more she begins to question the true nature of the reflections-and whether she's the one who's been living in a mirror all along. Struggling with her identity and the weight of her destiny, Aaina must choose whether to embrace her powers or abandon them, all while discovering what it means to truly exist in both the real world and the infinite possibilities of the multiverse.
Authors note! :)
I've been working on this book for a couple of years, unfortunately it is unfinished, but I'm looking forward to finishing this in the future! :)
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable.
James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.
Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of.
James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
