The View from the Mirror Boxed Set

The View from the Mirror Boxed Set

Books 1-4

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.

You won’t want to miss this truly epic fantasy series by million-selling author Ian Irvine. 

Ebook edition.

What people are saying ...

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.”

About The View from the Mirror Quartet

“In a world full of epic fantasy clones, this stands out as a world-building labour of love with some truly original touches.”

Locus

“Hugely ambitious – an epic, tragic tale of history’s implacable impact on the present, full of driven, often unlikeable and inept characters, and betrayal. Interest and originality there is aplenty – and action.”

Starburst, UK

“Ian Irvine is a great find! He writes beautifully about a vast and intricate world that seems utterly real. His characters are as well drawn as any I’ve come across in fantasy. Best of all, none of them are quite what they seem when first introduced: no white hats, no black hats. I found them refreshing, complicated, and compelling.”

Kate Elliott, author of King’s Dragon

“Irvine has built a history and wonderful culture for his vivid world. His first novel vibrates with originality.”
