Vows of Glass and Quicksilver

In the City of Glare, memories are immortal. But the truth is fading.Argentis is a metropolis built of mirrors and polished silver, designed to capture the dying light of a suffocated sun. In the toxic "Fumes" of the lower districts, Tamsin Vane works as a "Reflection Wiper." An illegal Amalgamist, she erases the digital souls trapped in Ancestral Mirrors for families who can no longer afford the storage fees-a violation of the city's holiest law: The Right to Remembrance.Dorian Stroud is the Inquisitor of the Looking-Glass. Blind to the physical world but gifted with "Silver-Sight," he sees everything reflected in the city's millions of surfaces. He is the enforcer of the Perpetuity Act, a cold hunter tracking the criminal who dares to delete the past.When Tamsin is hired to wipe a high-profile mirror, she accidentally absorbs a consciousness that shouldn't exist. Now, with the mercury in her blood pushing her toward madness and the Inquisitor closing in, Tamsin discovers that the mirrors aren't just storing memories-they are fabricating them. To save herself, she must ally with the man sworn to destroy her, before the city's fragile reflection shatters for good.A sharp, psychological Dark Romantasy where every surface is a spy, and love is the only thing the mirrors cannot predict.
