Amazon Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book of 2018 One of Entertainment
Weekly's 10 Best YA Books of 2018 One of Publishers Weekly's Best
YA Book of the Year A National Indie Bestseller Lose yourself in
the fantastic world of the arks and in the company of unforgettable
characters in this French runaway hit, Christelle Dabos' The Mirror
Visitor quartet. Plain-spoken, headstrong Ophelia cares little
about appearances. Her ability to read the past of objects is
unmatched in all of Anima and, what's more, she possesses the
ability to travel through mirrors, a skill passed down to her from
previous generations. Her idyllic life is disrupted, however, when
she is promised in marriage to Thorn, a taciturn and influential
member of a distant clan. Ophelia must leave all she knows behind
and follow her fiancé to Citaceleste, the capital of a cold, icy
ark known as the Pole, where danger lurks around every corner and
nobody can be trusted. There, in the presence of her inscrutable
future husband, Ophelia slowly realizes that she is a pawn in a
political game that will have far-reaching ramifications not only
for her but for her entire world. The World of the Arks Long ago,
following a cataclysm called the Rupture, the world was shattered
into many floating celestial islands, now known as arks. Over each,
the spirit of an omnipotent and immortal ancestor abides. The
inhabitants of these arks each possess a unique power. Ophelia,
with her ability to read the pasts of objects, must navigate this
fantastic, disjointed, perilous world using her trademark tenacity
and quiet strength. An unforgettable heroine, a rich and bountiful
universe, intrigue and suspense: A Winter's Promise is perfect for
readers of Margaret Rogerson's An Enchantment of Ravens, Melissa
Albert's The Hazel Wood, V.E. Schwab's ",Shades of Magic", series,
Tomi Adeyemi's Children of Blood and Bone, Kenneth Oppel's
",Airborne", series, and N.K. Jemisin ",Broken Earth", series.
Extract: I think we could have all lived happily, in a way, God, me
and the others, if it weren't for that accursed book. It disgusted
me. I knew what bound me to it in the most sickening of ways, but
the horror of that particular knowledge came later, much later. I
didn't understand straight away, I was too ignorant.
