Emma Newman picks up the narration of her series as her main character, Cathy, continues to be torn between two parallel worlds—one, a world of magic, and the other, the mundane world. Newman relies primarily on pitch and pace within a somewhat limited vocal range to distinguish her characters. However, she sustains her engagement and empathy with the story and keeps the plot moving. As Cathy is forced into an arranged marriage and finds her confidence and self-reliance eroding, Newman’s nuanced tone highlights her theme, which questions the distribution of power in a patriarchal society.

“Magical, exciting and clever.” -Fantasy Faction
It's Downton Abbey with magic, in Bath's secret mirror city
Cathy has been forced into an arranged marriage with William Iris-a situation that comes with far more strings than even she could have anticipated, especially when she learns of his family's intentions for them both.
Meanwhile, Max and the gargoyle investigate the Agency-a mysterious organization that appears to play by its own twisted rules, none of them favourable to Society.
And in Mundanus, Sam has discovered something very peculiar about his wife's employer-something that could herald disaster for everyone on both sides of the Split Worlds.
