Obsidienne was born into beauty—and bound by it. Every mirror in the palace reminded her of the perfection others adored, and the envy of her rival, Veylith, ensured that perfection would never remain untouched. When Veylith poisons the palace fountain with jealousy, Obsidienne’s reflection twists into something cruel, patient, and alive. Shadows creep from glass and water, binding her body and her will. Yet within the suffocating curse lies a hidden truth: the reflection does not only test her weakness—it responds to her strength. Guided by Umbra, her loyal bat companion, and joined by the whispering creatures who choose to serve her, Obsidienne learns to bend shadow and glass to her command. But every triumph feeds the curse, and every hesitation risks surrendering her soul. As Veylith schemes in the shadows, Obsidienne must decide if she will remain the girl cursed by vanity—or rise as the mistress of reflection and shadow. A haunting gothic retelling, Glass in Their Eyes explores envy, power, and the dark price of obsession. In this tale, no kiss can break the spell. Only Obsidienne can.
