ome truths only light can reveal.Mairi Lennox trusts measurements, not myths. But when a disciplined beam of light opens a route between distant places, she and harbor master Euan Kerr are drawn into a mystery hidden in glass, weather, records, and restraint.What begins as controlled observation becomes something far more dangerous: a network of reflective paths, a distant presence glimpsed but never claimed, and discoveries that raise urgent questions about privacy, power, and the cost of knowing too much.As curiosity deepens into trust, Mairi and Euan must decide how far they are willing to follow the light-and what must remain beyond reach.In the fifth Mirrorbound Chronicle, Nikki St. Marten delivers a luminous, slow-burn tale of mystery, ethics, and love at the edge of revelation.That positioning is supported directly by the story's remote rooms, reflective paths, privacy restrictions, controlled observation, and Mairi and Euan's developing relationship. Atmospheric paranormal romance with fantasy-romance and mystery elements; slow burn; coastal setting; unusual optical phenomena, discovery, privacy, ethics, and romance.
