Del has two rules. stay away from royalty. don’t fall in love.
The first – because Del is secretly a runaway princess. After the death of her sister at the hand of her boyfriend, Del flees her family, home and all the responsibilities that come with being the queendom’s new heir. With a magically constructed mirrorwoven face, Del is now unrecognisable, and disappears to the faraway opaline lagoon-city of Salato.
The second rule – because the enchantment hiding Del’s identity can only be unravelled by true love’s kiss. But that’s just fine. Del’s had enough of love anyway.
When Del breaks Rule One and becomes court bard to the newly widowed First of Salato, she is resolved to keep her head down. But Clara is naïve and trusts too easily, and soon Del finds herself having to guide Clara through the shoals of court life, somehow without revealing her own secret.
As Del grows closer to both Clara and Nasca, Clara’s brilliant, dangerous sister-in-law, it will only take a push to bring Del’s house of cards tumbling down.
Like, for example, breaking Rule Two.

January 3, 2026YA sapphic fantasy w/ love triangle
October 17, 2025
Read an early copy of this and I CANNOT WAIT for it to be out in the world. One of the best YA fantasies I've read, hands down. So imaginative, so funny, and so damn heartbreaking. (Bori, you're the worst. But your books slaps.)

Beautiful writing, rich world-building, and an absolutely enchanting storyline.
This book is so atmospheric, right from the start, and the author does an incredible job of balancing world-building with character development and real-time action. Get ready for a delightful romp in a lush world with characters you'll fall in love with at once!

Review of advance copy received from Author
I was lucky to get an arc! I really enjoyed stepping into Del’s world and following her on her quest to join the guild. I felt like I was right there in Salato with Del and the other characters (I have a soft spot for Minnow). The musical world was well-written, and Del’s humor (and secrets!) kept me turning the pages.

Sumptuous in its worldbuilding, sharp and witty in its prose, Mirrorwoven drew me in completely. These characters have a unique charm readers will fall hard for, and the romance will make you want to stand up and cheer! Such a sparkling, assured debut.

The prose sparkles and the story enchants! Del is one of my favourite disaster MCs I've ever read about and I can't wait for everyone to read this gem of a book.

This book is SO good! The characters absolutely come to life on the page, the worldbuilding is so VIVID. I absolutely could not put it down. I cannot WAIT for this book to hit shelves. Trust me when I say you do not want to miss this one!
