The Seventh Plate

The Seventh Plate
Book One of The Shadow Testament · A Glass Meridian Novel

Some mirrors reflect.
Others remember.

When Dr Eliza Harrow acquires a rare daguerreotype at a crumbling London auction, she expects a curious fragment of Victorian history. What she finds is something else entirely.

The image is wrong. It moves. It changes.
And it knows her name.

As her world begins to blur at the edges, Eliza is pulled into a hidden network of glass and silver — an ancient system of mirrors and memory that reveals as much as it conceals. Beneath the surface lies something older than photography, older than light itself. And someone, or something, is watching.

The first book in The Shadow Testament, The Seventh Plate begins a haunting supernatural thriller that weaves memory, obsession, and metaphysical mystery into a slow-burning descent through time and reflection.

Perfect for readers of The Bone Season, The Hazel Wood, or The Shadow of the Wind, this is a story of what happens when the past won’t stay silent — and the truth can only be seen through broken glass.

Open the shutter.
But be careful what you expose.
