The Gilt Mirror

By Sylara Velis

Berlin, 1927. An actress with no past. A mansion with no mercy. A mirror that feeds on souls.

Lotte Klein is a ghost in her own life. A cabaret actress who can play any role except herself. When a mysterious chauffeur offers her a fortune to impersonate a dead industrialist's wife, she believes it is just another performance. She is wrong.

Konrad Vogler lives in a house where every mirror is draped in black. His wife Elsa burned to death six months ago, but her spirit remains. Trapped behind a gilded mirror, she is desperate for one thing. A new body to wear.

Lotte is the perfect match.

To survive, Lotte must learn to become Elsa. To eat like her, speak like her, and surrender to her grieving husband. But as the lines between performance and possession blur, Lotte discovers a darker truth. The house is a prison for a hundred brides. The bargain is sealed in blood. And the only way to break it is to sacrifice everything she is.

The Gilt Mirror is a story of dark desire, supernatural transformation, and one woman's fight to transform from a vessel into a conqueror.
