Paperback. Elias Hawthorne is a successful painter who trusts what he can see.Until his mirrors stop showing the present.At first, Elias notices only a small discrepancy. His reflection moves several seconds behind him. Then minutes. Soon, different mirrors begin showing different moments in time-some revealing the past, others displaying events that have not yet happened.What begins as an unsettling visual anomaly becomes a nightmare when Elias discovers that his reflection is no longer simply following him.It is acting before he does.A hand reaches for a knife in the mirror, and Elias's own hand is forced to follow. A reflection walks through a room Elias has never entered. A future version of himself appears to be creating increasingly disturbing works of art, while Elias remains trapped inside his own body, unable to stop what he has already seen.Desperate for an explanation, Elias seeks out The Silvered Gaze, a mysterious shop hidden beneath the old quarter of the city. There, the enigmatic Fiona Blackwell tells him that mirrors are not passive surfaces. They are thresholds-places where different versions of a life can overlap.Elias soon discovers the terrifying truth behind the phenomenon.The mirror is not showing him the future.It is showing him a version of himself that has already made the choices he is still trying to avoid.As the gap between Elias and his reflection widens, the boundary between free will and predetermined action begins to collapse. His reflection becomes a blueprint for violence, obsession, and a new artistic style that promises to make Elias famous.But its price is human.When Elias finally understands that the mirror is using him to create a permanent record of its own reality, he must fight for the one thing the glass cannot possess completely: his ability to choose.Yet breaking free may require him to commit an act he has already seen himself perform.When Mirrors Began Keeping Secrets is a dark psychological horror about identity, free will, obsession, fractured reality, and the terrifying possibility that the person staring back at you may know your future better than you do. When a painter's reflections begin acting independently of his own movements, he must confront a terrifying reality: his glass counterparts are not mere images, but blueprints for a predestined life of violence and obsession.
