Carnival of Exquisite Minds
About
In a world where multiple minds share each body, a hidden secret threatens to shatter reality.
Astrid thought she knew who she was – the dominant persona in a body shared with Grey, Poppy, and Wren. But when she stumbles on some mysterious old books, she fears there’s more to their shared existence than anyone realized.
As they settle into life at their new finishing college, fleeting glimpses of a shadowy figure, a strange locked door, and inexplicable gaps in time all point to something—or someone—beyond what they know.
With truths quickly unraveling, Astrid and the others are caught in a dangerous web of secrets and lies, causing fractures in their once-harmonious union. With time running out, Astrid must find a way to unite her personas, because if she fails, not only will the truth remain buried, but she and the others could be erased entirely.
Content Note: This novel contains themes related to multiple personas inhabiting a single body. While set in a world where this is normal and positive, it may be sensitive for those with personal experiences of multiple personalities or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
Inspired and developed in consultation with someone dear to me who navigates similar challenges, I’ve sought to explore these themes with authenticity and respect. Nonetheless, readers sensitive to such topics may want to exercise caution.
