When they came for Edie, she screamed. After all, she was just an office worker; the last terrorist she’d seen was on the news. When they interrogated her, she begged. After all, how does a boring woman trapped in a boring life, dreaming of infidelities she dare not act out know anything of military value? When they kept her sealed in a cell, she cried. After all, what else is left when you’re trapped in a secret blacksite prison, cut off from your family, fed dog food and forgotten?

But when they took her from the cell and threw her into the village… It wasn’t until then that she became truly afraid, because beneath the façade of quiet English cheeriness lurk horrors far beyond anything she’s experienced so far. Now, if Edie is to survive, she must rely on the only two women she can trust: her former cell mates. One, a grizzled veteran of the Bosnian civil war, the other an unstable teenager with a disturbing fondness for swords. With nowhere to turn, these three reluctant allies must piece together the mysteries of their gilded prison. What twisted experiments are the village’s masters conducting with the lives of its inmates? Who is the screaming woman trapped on the other side of the mirrors? And, most horribly of all, what is the ultimate ambition of a place where even death itself is no impediment to further suffering?
