Christelle Dabos was born on the Côte d'Azur in 1980 and grew up in
a home filled with classical music and historical games. She now
lives in Belgium. A Winter's Promise, her debut novel, won the
Gallimard Jeunesse-RTL-Télérama First Novel Competition in France,

Amazon Book Review.
Since graduating in French from Oxford University, Hildegarde Serle

in London, her heart still lives on the Quai aux Fleurs in Paris.
"The Mirror Visitor stands on the same shelf as Harry
Potter."--ELLE Magazine
"Spectacular settings, exquisitely rendered
characters."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"As mesmerizing as a waking dream."--Margaret Rogerson, New York
Times Best-selling author of An Enchantment of Ravens
"Imagine the poisonous politics of Versailles in a glittering,
steampunk world of quill pens, airships, masks, illusions and
murderous courtiers."--The Wall Street Journal"The Storm of Echoes
is the final instalment in Christelle Dabos' Mirror Visitor series
of four utterly extraordinary books. This series is probably the
strangest, most compelling, frustrating, and addictive. From the
first page of the first book, Dabos plunges the reader into an
utterly hallucinogenic world where you can't quite believe what
you're reading. It takes a while to learn it, but once you do,
things start to make an illogical sense."--Quare Living
"Pulse-pounding suspense, memorable characters, rival clans and
elaborate political arrangements rooted in myth."--The Buffalo
News"Looping wildly through revelatory sequences, the twisting
narrative keeps readers on the edge of their seats from start to
finish. Dabos' final installment offers a chilling but
simultaneously euphoric experience."--The Daily Californian
"A series that is nothing like any YA book series on the shelves
today. Ophelia is the type of character I love to read about: great
at some things, terrible at others, brave at times, cowardly at
times, brilliant at times, and frustrating at other times. I could
read about her all day."--Barnes & Noble Review
"Your next YA obsession."--Entertainment Weekly"Metaphysical
mystery, compellingly in the wings for most of the series, takes
center stage in the quartet's final installment. Political intrigue
gracefully pivots to fraught introspection and identity turmoil,
and the inertia of over 500 pages is easily overcome by the
continued thrill of treachery and momentum of answers finally
revealed."--Kirkus Reviews
