Description
She wakes in a room of silk and silver with no name, no past, and no handle on the door. The man sitting at her bedside is devastatingly handsome, precisely groomed, and holding the only key to her locked world. He calls her Cassidy. He says she fell at the lake house. He says she will heal. He says he is her husband. He is lying on every count.
Inside the Ward estate, nothing is what it appears to be. The gardenias circulating through the air filtration system are sedatives. The herbal tea is a chemical anchor. The wedding album is a rehearsed script. And the surgical mark at the base of her skull is not the remnant of any accident. It is a biometric device designed to overwrite her mind with the identity of a dead woman named Lorna, a woman who did not walk into the lake. A woman who is buried beneath the garden fountain.
She is not the first woman to wear Lorna’s face. She is the fourth.
As the walls of Dominic Ward’s gold-leafed world begin to fracture, Cassidy must outmaneuver a controlling husband who views her as his finest restoration, a cold-blooded doctor who sees her as a failing experiment, and a ghost from Lorna’s past who arrives as a rescuer but carries an agenda just as dangerous as the man who built the cage. With each passing hour, her own identity dissolves further beneath the silver tide of a dead woman’s memories, and the window for resistance is closing fast.
A Mirror in the Dark is a taut, suffocating psychological thriller about identity, gaslighting, and one woman’s ferocious refusal to be erased. For readers who love dark domestic suspense with razor-sharp twists, this is the story of a woman who was purchased as a mirror and chose, instead, to be the hammer.
