The Gates of Good and Evil

“This is fantasy as it should be. Irvine’s vision is sweeping and majestic, his characters complex and detailed. Any reader of fantasy should read this novel and then get their hands on everything else he has written.”

– 5 stars, Good Reading magazine on Book 1, The Summon Stone

The Merdrun, a cruel race blooded by thousands of years of war, are gathering on Cinnibar, a barren worldlet in the void. In a nightmare, a nine-year-old girl, Sulien, sees the Merdrun leader, Gergrig – and he sees her. Gergrig orders Sulien killed to protect the secret and brings the invasion forward, to the night of the triple moons.

If Karan and Llian are to save their daughter and their world, Karan must find a way to stop Gergrig, the greatest warrior in the void. And Llian has to find and destroy the summon stone before the night of the triple moons, though he has no idea where it is.
