☠️ She didn’t believe in legends. She definitely didn’t plan to flirt with Death. ❄️ All Nora Beckett wanted was to survive Hallow’s End’s chaotic Harvest Festival without freezing herself into an early grave.

On a bright day at the Epsom Derby, 4 June 1913, Emily Wilding Davison was hit by the king’s horse in one of the defining moments of the fight for women’s suffrage - what became known as feminism’s first wave.

The glass doesn't lie. It waits. Nora can't shake the feeling that she's being watched. It started small—a flicker of movement in the bathroom mirror, a shadow that lingered too long. She told herself it was stress. Lack of sleep. The aftermath of a divorce that left her questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. But mirrors don't lie. And Nora's reflection has started doing things she doesn't remember doing. Smiling when she frowns. Tilting its head when she holds still. Mouthing words she can't quite read. When Nora finally confronts the thing in the glass, she discovers...
