Dark is the Moon Volume Two of The View From The Mirror
Once there were three worlds, each with their own people. Then, fleeing out of the void, on the edge of extinction, came the Charon. And the balance changed for ever.
Ian Irvine’s sweeping epic fantasy that began with A Shadow on the Glass and The Tower on the Rift continues…
Rulke the Great Betrayer is free at last to use the deadly construct he has spent a thousand years perfection. To succeed he needs just one thing – Karan’s unique sensitive talent.
Karan and her lover Llian are lost in the Nightland, in an alien palace that is collapsing about them. Only Rulke can open the gate and send them home to Santhenar, but if the gate is not sealed the world itself faces destruction.

The Tower on the Rift Volume Two of The View From The Mirror
Once there were three worlds, each with their own people. Then, fleeing out of the void, on the edge of extinction, came the Charon. And the balance changed for ever.
As war rages across the land, Tensor, the desperate leader of the Aachim people, flees into the wilderness taking with him the ancient Mirror of Aachan and the chronicler Llian.
Only Karan can save the chronicler, but her path is fraught with danger. Tensor wants her dead, the other powers are hunting her for her sensitive talents, and Rulke the Charon broods over them all from the Nightland prison.
The Twisted Mirror holds knowledge that the world can only dream about. Yet those who pursue it do so at their own peril. The Tower of the Rift continues Ian Irvine’s sweeping tale of magic and adventure. It is a story destined to become a classic work of fantasy. ‘The complex cultures, detailed geography, and the palpable weight of history provide a solid background to an intense story… this stands out as a worldbuilding labour of love with some truly original touches’ Locus
