But when James brings home a mysterious sunburst mirror from a long-abandoned estate, the air in their home begins to shift. Light bends strangely around the frame. Reflections linger just a beat too long. And Ethan... starts to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs fascination slips into obsession, the couple is pulled into something far older and darker than they can explain.

It contains mature themes including identity loss, emotional manipulation, existential dread, body horror, and depictions of intense psychological and supernatural distress. While the story centers a romantic relationship between two men, this is not a romance novel and does not follow traditional romance structure or heat expectations. Intimacy is present but emotionally driven and thematically tied to the horror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReader discretion is advised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryder Tombs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798287585402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Ryder Tombs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852535509247,"sku":"9798287585402","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/backscatter-ryder-tombs-9798287585402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
