The City of Mirrors is a 2016 horror novel by Justin Cronin and is the final novel in The Passage trilogy, following the novel The Twelve. The City of Mirrors was released for publication on May 24, 2016 by Ballantine Books.[1]

The film rights to the three novels were acquired in 2007 for adaptation into a film trilogy, but after 12 years of development and planning, it has been changed to a television series, premiering in January 2019.[2][3]

The City of Mirrors picks up where The Twelve left off, following the destruction of the Twelve and their viral followers, and explores the background of Subject Zero, the first human to be changed in the early 21st century. It delves into lengthy flashbacks, and also jumps 900 years into the future to reveal humanity's fate.[4]
