The start of a brand new epic fantasy series from fan favourite Ian Irvine, set in the world of his View from the Mirror series

The Merdrun, cruel warriors blooded by thousands of years of slaughter, are gathering in the void between the worlds.

Their long-hidden summon stone is waking, corrupting good people as well as bad, and turning arcane places into magically polluted wastelands. If it is not destroyed it will create a portal and call the Merdrun through.

In a nightmare, a nine-year-old girl sees the Merdrun leader - and he sees her. If Karan and Llian are to save their daughter and their world, they must find a way to stop the greatest warrior in the void.

"Great action set pieces . . . This is the sort of book you'd pick up if you were prepared to be late for your next appointment "
