Book One of The Shadow Testament - The Glass Meridian Saga Begins
A forgotten photograph. A fractured memory. A truth buried in silver and shadow.
Dr Eliza Harrow doesn't believe in the supernatural. As a cultural historian, she prefers evidence to myth, facts to folklore. But when a strange daguerreotype surfaces at a London auction - its surface warped, its image unnervingly alive - Eliza's world begins to crack.
Drawn into a hidden network of mirrors, reflections and impossible artefacts, Eliza finds herself at the edge of a reality no one else can see. Each discovery leads her deeper into a forgotten system - one rooted in light, memory and a name that should not exist: Venefica.
As timelines blur and her own identity begins to unravel, Eliza must confront a terrifying question: are the plates showing her the past... or a future she cannot escape?
The Seventh Plate is the first book in The Shadow Testament, the opening arc of The Glass Meridian, a sweeping twenty-one-part supernatural thriller that blends gothic mystery, metaphysical suspense, and haunting psychological tension.
Perfect for fans of The Shadow of the Wind, The Bone Season, and The Secret History, this is a beautifully written, slow-burning descent into a mirror-world of fractured time, obsession, and the secrets that live in glass.
When you look too long into the mirror...
...what happens if something looks back?
