Mendacium: Sequel to Cracked Reflection

She's been here before.

She just doesn't remember. Every choice Sarah makes feels familiar. Every place she visits... already knows her name. But no matter how fast she runs- no matter how far she escapes- the mirror always finds her. There's no freedom in Reflexcio.

Only repetition.

Only illusion.

Only the thought of escape,

but that's not the question she should be asking;

"The question is not how, it's when."

After the events of Cracked Reflection, Detective Sarah Lawson thought she had outrun the nightmare. The voices. The shifting memories. Living a peaceful life with Raven. But when she wakes up in a town that feels like home-and yet isn't-Sarah realizes the mirror never truly let her go.

In this twisted sequel, Sarah is trapped in a place called Reflexcio, a mirrored version of the world she once knew. Her memories are scattered. Time loops. Faces shift. And the people she trusts most might not even exist. Every step forward pulls her deeper into a fabricated life-one designed to keep her docile, distracted... and quiet.

But something is trying to reach her. A man who knows her. A journal that remembers. A voice that breaks through the silence.

And a question she keeps hearing:

"The Question is not how, it's when."

From Zayn Jamshaid, author of books like Cracked Reflection, Hawthorne, ZFORMULA, and Transcendence comes a chilling psychological thriller about the illusions we accept, the truths we forget, and the mirror that always remembers.

"But Sarah... This is what you wanted."
