Ooit waren er drie werelden, elk met zijn eigen mensenras. Toen, vluchtend uit de leegte tussen de werelden, kwam er een vierde volk. De Charon waren wanhopig en bijna uitgestorven, en veranderden voorgoed het evenwicht tussen de werelden. In oeroude tijden werd de Weg tussen de Werelden verbrijzeld, waarna Santh een slagveld werd van drie vreemde rassen. Die strijd eindigde met de verbanning van Rulke de Verrader. In ballingschap heeft Rulke echter een dodelijke constructie geperfectioneerd. Er ontbreekt slecht een onderdeel: Karans unieke gaven. Llian en Karan zijn verloren in het Nachtland, in Rulkes vreemde paleis. Alleen hij kan de poort naar Santh openen, maar Karan is doodsbang dat hij Llian zal corrumperen. Op Santh probeert men wanhopig de poort te verzegelen voordat Rulke de constructie overbrengt. Als ze falen zal Santh verscheurd worden. Maar als ze slagen, zitten Karan en Llian voor eeuwig vast in het Nachtland.

Ooit waren er drie werelden, elk met zijn eigen mensenras. Toen kwam uit de leegte een vierde ras gevlucht, de Charon. Ze waren wanhopig en waren bijna uitgestorven, en ze veranderden voor eeuwig tussen de werelden. In oeroude tijden werd de Weg tussen de Werelden verbrijzeld, waarna Santh een slagveld werd van drie vreemde rassen. Nu is de jonge geleerde Llian verbannen omdat hij geheime kennis over die tijd heeft onthuld. Tegelijkertijd wordt de edele Karan gedwongen op een gevaarlijke missie te gaan.

The terrifying Merdrun are invading, and the world is defenseless. Karan and Llian have fled to the future to protect their gifted nine-year-old daughter, but soon Sulien foresees the reopening of the Crimson Gate. The Merdrun have returned for good, and Santhenar, ravaged by the 160-year Lyrinx War and a decade of chaos, is in ruins. Major cities fall within days to this deadly army. Before the allies can mount a defense, the Merdrun uncover Scrutator Xervish Flydd's greatest folly: the location of the Council's lost weapon, an intelligent killing machine known as the spellcaster. The Merdrun are determined to find it to eradicate humanity from Santhenar. Only Karan, Flydd, and a few tormented veterans stand in their way.

The world of Santhenar has fallen, with most allies dead or captured, while the conquering Merdrun carve Skyrock into a towering structure featuring a sapphire-clad tunnel at its base.

Karan, Flydd, and their fractured allies have just thirty days to uncover the answer and unlock nine-year-old Sulien's hidden memory to reveal the Merdrun's critical weakness. However, Sulien has been kidnapped by Dagog, who needs her far-seeing abilities for his sinister plot.

One army is headed by the charismatic brute, Axil Grandys, and the other by Lyf, resurrected sorcerer-king and Axil's ancient nemesis. Only the escaped slave Tali and her unreliable magic stand in their way - but Tali's gift grows more painful every time she uses it. As the armies converge on the fateful peak of Touchstone, Tali and her ally Rix must find a way to overcome Lyf and prevent Axil from using the Three Spells that will destroy Hightspall for ever.

The second book in a brand new epic fantasy duology from fan favorite Ian Irvine, set in the world of his View from the Mirror series. The cruel Merdrun, the greatest warriors in the void, have invaded Santhenar but their portal backfired and they're stuck on the tropical Isle of Gwine. They're desperately trying to regain contact with the Summon Stone so they can reopen the portal and begin the slaughter of humanity. The hideous Whelm hold Karan and Llian's daughter, Sulien, in the frozen south and plan to sacrifice her to the Merdrun to gain their favor. Karan races south in a stolen sky ship but fears she will be too late. Llian, hurled through another portal, sees the summon stone wake and knows the allies have but one chance to destroy the Merdrun - though it will involve an alchemical quest that has always ended in ruin, a mad invasion in untested sky ships with untrained pilots, then the most unequal battle in all the Histories.
