Book Nine

A Literary Fantasy Where Rewriting a Book Rewrites the World

Somewhere in a cathedral made of starlight, a woman has spent ninety years rewriting reality, and she believes every edit is an act of love. Guardian Meredith Trevelyn is sent to stop her, armed with a mirror that shows truth when shadow lies, a record the enemy could not corrupt, and one order she never expected: try to save the woman first.

Free with Kindle Unlimited, or 99c to own.

Every book she rewrites, the world obeys. Someone has to close the cover.

About this story

Guardian Meredith Trevelyn is sent to stop her, armed with a mirror that shows truth when shadow lies, a record the enemy could not corrupt, and one order she never expected: try to save the woman first.

Cassandra Blackwood was the most gifted guardian of her generation. She prevented plagues. She averted wars. She also authored, audited, and read her own record of success while dimensions fractured in the gap between her vision and the world. Now the harm compounds, and every hour Meredith spends listening, more people die.

But Cassandra sounds reasonable. And Meredith respects reasonable arguments. To face her, Meredith must first face the shadow wearing her own face, the part of her that wants exactly what Cassandra took.

For readers of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Genevieve Cogman’s Invisible Library, a literary fantasy about power, grief, and the record of what is true.
