Christelle Dabos is a French author. The Mirror Visitor Quartet is her main work: A Winter's Promise (2013), The Missing of Clairdelune (2015), The Memory of Babel (2017) and The Storm of Echoes (2019). A Winter's Promise took first place at the 2013 Gallimard-RTL-Telerama First Novel competition, and the quartet has sold over a million copies at Gallimard Jeunesse and appeared in twenty languages. Dark and contemporary fantasy, dystopia and coming of age are its subjects, written for young adults. Here, and Only Here (2023) and We (2026) follow the quartet.

In the Mirror Visitor Quartet, Ophelia reads the history held in objects and passes through mirrors. When a cataclysm breaks the world into a set of floating arks, each governed by an ancestor spirit, she is married off for political reasons and moved away from home, then makes her way through a court defined by secrecy and shifting alliances.
