The Mirror World

Rhia has always known how to perform.Elite grades, elite ambitions: the armour an orphan builds when she has no one to tell her who she is.Or where she belongs.Oxford, 2038. A generation is graduating into an AI-run world that no longer needs them. Purpose has become the scarcest resource on earth. And Rhia, brilliant yet terrified, is no exception to this crisis of meaning.Then the Ravens find her. A secret society woven through the highest levels of power, promising belonging, ascent, and, just maybe, an answer.But the Ravens' world runs deeper than politics, deeper than ambition: all the way down to forces that were shaping Rhia long before she set foot in Oxford. And when the truth finally comes, it doesn't arrive as a revelation.It arrives as a choice.
