Book 1: The View from the Mirror
His voice is his magic, his memory is his strength – and ambition is his doom …
Llian, a brilliant Tale-spinner but inept at everyday life, uncovers a 3,000-year-old mystery too dangerous to be revealed and is expelled from his college.
Karan, a sensitive whose family is cursed by madness, is compelled by honour to steal an ancient magical device and take it to the Magister, in Thurkad. But it’s the treacherous Mirror of Aachan, and hidden within it is a deadly secret.
Thrown together by fate as they struggle to reach Thurkad, Karan and Llian are snared in the machinations of immortals, the vengeance of feuding warlords and the magic of all-powerful sorcerers. Magic that could break Karan’s fragile mind, and corrupt Llian as he pries into the riddles of the mirror.
And if they fail the Twisted Mirror will spark a millennial war, terrible as a tsunami, that will deluge the land in banned magic, tear nations apart, and crush all the little people in its path.
