The Girl with No Reflection By Keshe Chow

In a lush fantasy debut perfect for fans of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night and Violet Made of Thorns, Princess Ying Yue embarks on a journey that challenges her notions of love and reality.

Ying Yue once dreamed of a fairy tale romance, but her hopes are shattered when she is chosen to marry the crown prince. The reality of her impending marriage is far from the dream; her future husband is distant and cruel, and Ying is confined to her room under mysterious circumstances. Whispers of seven other royal brides who disappeared after their weddings cast a dark shadow over her future.

Isolated and plagued by unsettling visions in her mirror, Ying discovers a gateway that pulls her into a parallel realm—a world of sentient reflections and vibrant lights. Here, she meets the Mirror Prince, a kind and compassionate counterpart to her real-world fiancé. For the first time, Ying experiences the love she had always yearned for.

However, the mirror world harbors its own darkness. The two realms share a blood-soaked history, and Ying learns she has a pivotal role in their intertwined fates. As she uncovers the grim truth about the missing brides, she realizes that understanding her place in these worlds may come too late.

With a gripping plot and richly imagined settings, Better Left Buried invites readers into a tale of love, betrayal, and hidden histories, where the reflection of a fairy tale is far more complex and perilous than it seems.
