The Nine-Edged Mirror, Volume II

A World Where Something Happens

Volume II of The Nine-Edged Mirror assembles the subsequent four narratives—The Wall of Fire, 20 Knots or the Hypermandala, A Glitch in the Matrix, and The Event Horizon—into a cohesive philosophical progression, charting the intensifying convergence of Margarita Smolina’s metaphysical explorations with the encroaching disruptions of a hypercosmic order.

From the surreal nocturnal visions overlaying psychological entanglements with ancient legends of cataclysmic renewal in The Wall of Fire to the fevered urban distortions and esoteric pursuits of temporal recursion in 20 Knots or the Hypermandala, from the carnivalesque unraveling of domestic absurdities laced with gothic omens and unspoken longings in A Glitch in the Matrix to the Soviet archival records of anomalies interwoven with quantum metaphysics and citywide ontological glitches in The Event Horizon, these narratives deftly interlace speculative cosmology, emotional turmoil, and folkloric mysticism. Each installment reveals an escalating layer, a deeper stratum, of the novel’s burgeoning hypercosm.

Suffused with gothic whimsy and conceptual precision, Volume II constitutes both a speculative odyssey and a lyrical meditation, functioning as a prismatic reflector that captures the frictions between reason, fable, and the cosmic antagonists that govern existential coherence. A World Where Something Happens signifies the pivotal advancement towards the complete realisation of The Molecule of Eternity, presenting readers with a vibrant, pulsating codex imbued with tension, enigma, and philosophical daring.

Alongside the narrative chapters, the volume incorporates exclusive lyrical fragments and appendices that will not feature in the final novel.
