Some mirrors show what stands before them.

This one reveals what the past tried to bury.

Six months after Mara Ellison became a vampire, she is still learning the shape of her new life: the hush of Ronan Keir’s Old Montreal house, the strange tenderness of immortal love, and the fragile balance between the human world she lost and the night she now belongs to.

Then a sealed mirror from the Vautrin estate arrives at the museum.

At midnight, for thirteen minutes, a man appears behind the glass.

He is starving. Terrified. Impossible. And he reaches for Mara as if she is the only person who can hear him.

The mirror’s trail leads Mara and Ronan into the hidden history of the Order of the White Flame, a fanatical sect that turned faith into cruelty and love into evidence of corruption. Behind the Vautrin family’s locked chapel lies a legacy of fire, silence, and old violence—one that may not be finished with them yet.

But finding the man in the mirror is only the beginning.

To save him, Mara and Ronan must uncover the truth of what was done to him—and face what nearly two centuries of darkness have left behind.

Thirteen Past Midnight is a gothic tale of immortal love, buried sins, found family, and the terrible mercy of answering a voice from the dark.
