Amelia and The Mirror

Amelia and the Mirror: The Origin is an intricately crafted novel that blends historical fiction, science fiction, and cosmic intrigue to explore humanity’s resilience against forces beyond its understanding. In 1960, eleven-year-old Amelia Forefore uncovers a mysterious mirror hidden within the walls of her ancestral estate. What begins as innocent curiosity soon unravels a legacy of profound innovation and sacrifice. The mirror is linked to a dormant time machine, a groundbreaking invention created in 1903 by her grandfather, Ludvik Forefore—a brilliant scientist whose genius attracted the collaboration of visionaries like Nikola Tesla and Henry Ford. Ludvik’s pursuit of time travel, however, did not go unnoticed. His work drew the attention of Zeta-2, a malevolent alien entity intent on manipulating humanity through his invention. Determined to protect the future, Ludvik fused his essence with the machine in a desperate act of defiance, leaving behind a fractured legacy shrouded in secrecy. Decades later, Amelia’s discovery reawakens the machine, thrusting her into a generational conflict that has shaped the trajectory of civilization itself. As she grows, Amelia unravels the secrets of her family’s past, confronts the cosmic manipulation of Zeta-2, and begins to understand her pivotal role in a battle for the survival of humanity. By 1980, Amelia, now armed with the Matter and Anti-Matter Crystals and the knowledge passed down from her grandfather, must confront Zeta-2 in a climactic struggle that will determine Earth’s future. Amelia and the Mirror: The Origin offers readers an epic narrative of invention, sacrifice, and heroism. It is both a deeply human story of one girl’s transformation and a visionary exploration of time travel’s origins. With its richly layered worldbuilding, historical depth, and universal themes, this novel invites readers to consider the unseen forces that shape our existence and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
