Broken Mirror Era

An epic about the curse of being "seen." In the continent of Eldra, the Mirror Abyss is bottomless. It devours gaze and responds to gaze; it imprisons desire and feeds desire. For seven thousand years, humans have built civilization around this abyss—not to survive, but to confirm their own existence. Saborchi Virag, Prime Minister of the Principality of Visegrad, the "chosen one" in the triplets experiment, the "perfect mirror" carefully cultivated by his great-uncle. He resisted authority, but found that he was becoming an authoritarian; he broke the mirror in search of freedom, but found that freedom was another kind of imprisonment; before he died, he said "I am not a hero" - but is the sentence itself also a performance? This is not a story of heroes defeating the system. It's about how the system, after defeating you, makes you believe that you chose to be defeated. About being conscious and aware of being manipulated, but being unable to stop performing. About getting ruthless, forgetting about love, walking into the abyss soberly, even with a smile. The echoes won't stop. Are you ready to be seen?
