Matthew Dalby

The Mirror ShipOrin once possessed the power to shape entire universes. He walked away from infinity to discover something far greater: an ordinary life. Now, a mysterious traveller named Ilen arrives with an impossible invitation. Beyond reality waits the Mirror Ship-a vessel that sails between worlds, searching not for heroes or conquerors, but for people whose quiet questions have gone unheard.
Joined by a wise-cracking rabbit who believes every crisis is improved by tea, an extraordinary crew, and a remarkable child who can hear the questions hidden within existence itself, Orin begins a new kind of journey. Not to defeat evil. Not to save the universe. But to remind ordinary people that kindness can change lives, hope travels further than fear, and sometimes the greatest miracle is simply staying long enough to listen.
A gentle, philosophical fantasy about compassion, friendship, healing, and the extraordinary power of ordinary moments.
