THE Dark Mirror
The fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Bone Season series.
Paige Mahoney is outside the Republic of Scion for the first time in more than a decade – but she has no idea how she got to the free world. Half a year has been wiped from her memory.
As she makes her way back to the revolution, her journey takes her to Venice, where she learns a dangerous secret – one that could change the face of the war between humans and immortals. Before she can return to London, she must help the Domino Programme unravel the sinister Operation Ventriloquist.
And it soon becomes clear that the one person who could recover her memories – Arcturus Mesarthim – might also hold the key to saving Italy.

You will lose yourself in this magnificent world, and hold these characters close to your heart’ – Sue Lynn Tan, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Immortal

REVIEWS
‘Shannon continues her richly imagined, suspenseful Bone Season series starring Paige Mahoney, the Irish Underqueen in the fierce resistance against the brutal Republic of Scion […] Once again, Shannon makes lavish use of spectacular and storied settings […] In complex scenes of healing, strategizing, death-defying action, delicate negotiations, and passionate love, Shannon’s powers remain at full impact in this brilliantly realized, keenly relevant freedom-fighter saga’ – Booklist
‘The sudden change of setting from Scion to the free world adds layers upon layers of intrigue to this story […] these convoluted layers erode at the predictability of the plot and increase the danger and suspense to maximum levels […] Victory seems no closer or easier, but the revolution is growing, and Paige’s powers are growing with it. I can’t wait to see where the journey takes her next and what the final showdown will look like’ – British Fantasy Society
