On the razor-thin glass plates of the Prismatic Shards, steam-powered beacons guide void-skiffs through the dark. Ealasaid keeps the lenses polished, ignoring the urban legends about what lives behind the silvering. But when her reflection begins whispering to her in the boiler room, she meets Tighearnan—a haunting fae shifter whose body reshapes itself according to the desires and fears of those who look upon him. Tighearnan was sent to smash the beacons and plunge the human colonies into ruin, but Ealasaid’s sharp mind and unyielding gaze pierce straight through his illusions. In a world of steam, light, and deadly reflections, trusting a monster might be her only way home.
