The Reflection's Price

Bol

A house of lies. A demon of glass. The terrifying cost of being perfect.Clara Blackwood has nowhere else to go. Aged out of the foster system with only a cryptic letter from a dead great-aunt, she arrives at the foreboding Ravenscroft Manor-a place of twisted iron and broken glass that breathes with a life of its own. The only inheritance she expects is a roof over her head. What she finds is something far more dangerous.The manor is a labyrinth of mirrors, each one housing a reflection that isn't her own. These perfect, beautiful versions of Clara offer her everything she's ever longed for: beauty, confidence, love, and a life free from pain. All she has to do is step through the glass.But Clara is not alone. Elias, a scholar trapped in the manor's library, reveals the horrifying truth. The mirrors are prison worlds, created by a ancient demon that feeds on human self-loathing. The perfect reflections are hollow lies, and the women who gave in are now trapped forever, their life force slowly draining to sustain the illusion.To save herself and free the lost souls, Clara must perform a terrifying ritual. The cost? The one thing the demon cannot understand or replicate: genuine self-love. In a final confrontation with the demon wearing her own face, Clara must choose between the beautiful lie of perfection or the painful, beautiful truth of being perfectly, imperfectly real.The Reflection's Price is a haunting Gothic dark fantasy for fans of:The sentient, malevolent houses in T. Kingfisher's "The Hollow Places"The psychological horror and self-acceptance themes in "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue"The dark, fairy-tale atmosphere of "Ninth House" and "Vita Nostra"
