Samantha Shannon is the New York Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree, The Bone Season and A Day of Fallen Night. Samantha joins us for The Dark Mirror, the soaring fifth novel in the bestselling Bone Season series.

Samantha will be interviewed by L.R. Lam, Sunday Times bestselling author whose work includes epic fantasy romance Dragonfall, the near-future space thrillers, Goldilocks, feminist space opera Seven Devils (co-written with Elizabeth May), and BBC Radio 2 Book Club section False Hearts, amongst other books.

Everything is about to change.

Paige Mahoney is outside the Republic of Scion for the first time in more than a decade - but she has no idea how she got to the free world. Half a year has been wiped from her memory.

As she makes her way back to the revolution, her journey takes her to Venice, where she learns a dangerous secret - one that could change the face of the war between humans and immortals. Before she can return to London, she must help the Domino Programme unravel the sinister Operation Ventriloquist.

And it soon becomes clear that the one person who could recover her memories - Arcturus Mesarthim - might also hold the key to saving Italy.

Lyrical, touching and action-packed, The Dark Mirror drives the bestselling Bone Season series forward, showing Samantha at the height of her powers.
