'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.

'As good as anything I have read in the fantasy genre.' Adelaide Advertiser.

'Irvine has built a history and wonderful culture for his vivid world. His first novel vibrates with originality.' The West Australian.

Or will the Mirror betray them all, in the end?
