The Whispering Glass

Elara Vance has always felt too much - the ache in a neighbor's silence, the shadow in a stranger's laugh, the small, stubborn poverty of a life with nowhere to go. When she accepts a job cleaning the long-dead Blackwood Manor, she finds more than dust: she finds an antique mirror that grants wishes - but never for free. One wish buys her family breathing room. Another brings a love she never dared imagine.
Each miracle arrives gilded in relief - and balanced by a cruel, unseen cost. As the village of Havenwood brightens around her, terrible things ripple outward: a death, a loss, a fracture in someone else's life. The glass does not create; it transfers. It keeps exacting the ledger of fate. Torn between desperate compassion and the intoxicating pull of power, Elara is forced to confront a terrible inheritance: Eleanor Blackwood, a woman from centuries past, made the same bargains - and paid the price.
As suspicion, fanaticism, and grief gather in the green, Elara must decide whether to keep using the mirror to fix the world.or to become the thing that binds its horror. Atmospheric, heartbreaking, and morally urgent, The Whispering Glass is a gothic psychological thriller about desire, the cost of rescue, and what it means to carry another person's pain. Fans of dark folk-horror, haunted-mirror myths, and literary supernatural fiction will be drawn into Elara's fog-shrouded world.
