In a kingdom where emotions are forbidden and magic is sealed in glass, sixteen-year-old Lys Aril has always known she was different. She feels too much in a world that demands silence. Raised under watchful eyes and stricter rules, she’s spent her life pretending to be "balanced"—until the day a crack appears in a mirror, and the glass whispers her name. Inside the city’s emotionless heart, a forgotten power begins to stir. Strange visions. Voices only she can hear. And a boy with eyes like moonlit moss who disappears as quickly as he comes. Now, Lys is being watched. The Order suspects her. The mirrors are changing. And an ancient secret is awakening beneath her skin. She is not broken. She is the key. And the kingdom is afraid of what she might unlock.
