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?
You won’t want to miss this truly epic fantasy series by million-selling author Ian Irvine.
What reviewers say about the Three Worlds books
“A compelling adventure in a landscape full of wonders.” – Locus
“A page-turner of the highest order … Formidable!” – SFX on Geomancer
“It is the most engrossing book I’ve read in years.” – Van Ikin, Sydney Morning Herald
“Readers of Eddings, Goodkind and Jordan will lap this one up.” – Starlog
“Utterly absorbing.” Stephen Davenport, Independent Weekly
“For sheer excitement, there’s just no one like Irvine.” SFX on The Destiny of the Dead
“As good as anything I have read in the fantasy genre.” – Adelaide Advertiser
Some Reviews of the View from the Mirror Series
"In a world full of epic fantasy clones, this stands out as a world-building labour of love with some truly original touches." – Locus.
“Dark is the Moon pulled me along like a tidal wave to its powerful ending.” – Hilary Williamson, Bookloons.com
“Irvine's evocation of landscapes tortured into strangeness by aeons of magical intervention and cities wrecked by civil strife is crisply visualised; his set pieces are viscerally exciting; his characters are complex individuals who grow and change.” Roz Kaveney, Amazon UK
