Synopsis

**Three silver coins. A debt he can pay. A journey he cannot bear to postpone.**

An unnamed mirror seller leaves his market town searching for the nearness of God. Behind him, a frame maker waits for his wages, and his sister Nura carries the work their shared stall still requires. In his bag is his mother's dented copper mirror: an ordinary object that brightness cannot make whole.

The road leads through an olive grove, a desert crossing, the company of a traveling copyist, and dreams of cities no map can locate. A Christian monastery offers hospitality without erasing difference. A mountain draws him toward the arrival he has imagined for so long. Along the way, wonder and disappointment unsettle his wish for a truth he can possess.

Rooted in Sufi thought and inspired by ideas associated with Ibn Arabi, *Mirrors of the Unseen* is a literary spiritual allegory about longing, imagination, grief, and divine mercy. Its invented pilgrim's visions must answer to particular lives, unfinished promises, and the difficult freedom of people he loves.

For readers drawn to contemplative storytelling, this pilgrimage holds open a tender question: can a heart hope for God's embrace while learning to return, repair, and remain?
