In the gripping third volume of Christelle Dabos's best-selling saga Ophelia the
mirror-travelling heroine finds herself in the magical city of Babel guarding a secret that
may provide a key both to the past and the future. After two years and seven months biding
her time on Anima her home ark it is finally time to act to put what she has discovered in
the Book of Faruk to good use. Under an assumed identity she travels to Babel a cosmopolitan
and thoroughly modern ark that is the jewel of the universe and where automata have taken over
the most humble jobs from humans. But under the surface of this pacific and orderly ark social
unrest stirs fed by the memories of a fateful purge long ago and the inhabitants' growing
fear of being replaced altogether. Will Ophelia's talent as a reader suffice to avoid her being
lured into a deadly trap by her ever more fearful adversaries? Will she ever see Thorn her
betrothed again?
