Book 3: The View from the Mirror
Rulke the Great Betrayer has escaped from the Nightland, his prison for the last thousand years.
And he has a weapon no one has ever seen before – a massive, magic-powered iron construct. As he amasses a conquering army the other age-old wizards scatter in urgent quests, for the only way to defeat Rulke is to rediscover long-lost spells banned during the Forbidding.
Llian the Tale-spinner, desperate to create a new Great Tale, falls into Rulke’s trap and becomes an unwitting spy against all who have befriended him. Then Karan, tormented triune daughter of three different human species, discovers her beloved homeland has become the centre of a sorcerous vortex.
High in the mountains, in a haunted citadel built by her mad ancestor, Rulke plans to open the Way Between the Worlds – even if this lets the ravenous horrors of the Void into Santhenar.
But he can’t do it without Karan, and the now-desperate allies know she has to die. To save the world, must Llian let his friend and lover be killed?
