Bloomsbury presents The Dark Mirror by Samantha Shannon, read by Alana Kerr Collins.

The highly anticipated fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Bone Season series—an epic and spellbinding fantasy from the author of The Priory of the Orange Tree.

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 By: Goodreads * Barnes & Noble * Screen Rant * The Nerd Daily * Paste Magazine * Book Riot

Everything is about to change.

Paige Mahoney is outside the Republic of Scion for the first time in more than a decade—but she has no idea how she got to the free world. Half a year has been wiped from her memory.

Her journey back to the revolution soon takes her to Venice, where the Domino Programme has uncovered evidence of a secret Scion plan. Before Paige can return to London, she must help the network unravel the sinister Operation Ventriloquist, which threatens to bring Europe to its knees in weeks.

And it soon becomes clear that the one person who could recover her memories—Arcturus Mesarthim—might also hold the key to thwarting Scion, allowing the revolution to strike an unprecedented blow . . .

With its intricate worldbuilding, slow burn romance, and “complex, ever evolving, scrappy yet touching” (NPR) heroine, the Bone Season series shows Samantha Shannon at the height of her considerable powers.

Samantha Shannon is the million copy bestselling author of The Bone Season and The Roots of Chaos series. Her work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. She lives in London. samanthashannon.co.uk / @say_shannon

Reviews

Intoxicating . . . Fans will be calling for more. Real entertainment. Shannon has continued to build on this imagined world with intricacy, and Paige’s voice comes through to deliver a suspenseful story. Epic, riveting, emotional and devastating. The Dark Mirror is a remarkable continuation to the incredible series, masterfully crafted, deeply romantic and heart-wrenching. You will lose yourself in this magnificent world, and hold these characters close to your heart. A magnificent, sweeping epic . . . Highly recommended for hiding away from the real world and losing yourself in this one instead. Epic in scope . . . The heroes shine in their uniqueness, with diverse family dynamics interwoven throughout and representation ranging from queer lords and warriors to genderfluid alchemists . . . This is expansive, emotionally complex, and bound to suck you in. Impressively multilayered. Shannon expands the world of her Bone Season series in this pedal-to-the-metal fifth installment . . . The stakes are high, the pace is rapid, and Shannon’s gift for evocative prose makes the shadowy streets of Venice come alive . . . Series fans will be thrilled. Richly imagined . . . Once again, Shannon makes lavish use of spectacular and storied settings . . . In complex scenes of healing, strategizing, death-defying action, delicate negotiations, and passionate love, Shannon’s powers remain at full impact in this brilliantly realized, keenly relevant freedom-fighter saga.
