In this third volume of Christelle Dabos’s saga, Ophelia — the mirror-traveling heroine — finds herself on the ark of Babel, guarding a secret that may provide a key to both the past and the future.
After two years and seven months biding her time on Anima, her home ark, she finally acts, attempting to put what she discovered in the Book of Farouk to use. Under an assumed identity, she travels to Babel, a cosmopolitan and thoroughly modern ark that is the jewel of the universe.
Will Ophelia’s talent as a reader suffice to avoid being lured into a deadly trap by her increasingly dangerous adversaries? Will she ever see Thorn, her betrothed, again?
