Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller
The City of Mirrors is the breathtaking conclusion to Justin Cronin’s acclaimed Passage Trilogy, where the fate of humanity hangs in a delicate balance between memory, ruin, and renewal.
In the aftermath of the fall of the Twelve, peace seems possible. But deep beneath the illusion of safety lies an ancient force still awake—Zero, the original viral, also known as Dr. Timothy Fanning. Driven by heartbreak, obsession, and rage, he prepares to bring about the end of all things. His final plan forces Amy and the last surviving heroes to confront not only their enemy but the ghosts of their own past.
The novel dives into Zero’s origin, revealing his tragic transformation and twisted motivations. His story is a mirror to humanity’s desire for connection—and its self-destruction. The survivors, scattered and aging, must choose between escaping into illusion or standing against the final storm.
Cronin's writing is as poetic as it is brutal, blending philosophy and horror in a sweeping saga that stretches across centuries. The City of Mirrors delivers a powerful meditation on love, time, and sacrifice, while tying every thread of the trilogy into a dramatic, emotional, and satisfying finale.
It is not just the end of a story—it is the end of a world, and the fragile beginning of another.
