For 3,000 years the Forbidding protected Santhenar from the savagery of the Void. Now Rulke has broken it open.
And the ultimate clash of an aeons-long war erupts. As alien lords battle Rulke to gain control of the Way Between the Worlds, and abominations from the Void ravage the land, can Mendark and Yggur overcome their mutual hatred and stand together to seal the Way?
In this final hour, will Karan find the courage to make the ultimate sacrifice – one that must lead to a hideous death?
Can her unreliable ally Maigraith free herself from the thrall of Faelamor, the greatest manipulator in the Three Worlds, and fight for her true destiny? Or will she fall back under Faelamor’s spell?
How will Karan’s lover Llian, the cursed Tale-spinner, choose between ambition and honour? And can he crack the code of the Twisted Mirror, to reveal the truth about the ancient betrayal that has brought Santhenar to the edge of annihilation, in time?
If any of them falter, the Three Worlds are doomed.
You won’t want to miss this truly epic fantasy series by million-selling author Ian Irvine.
What reviewers say 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.” – Van Ikin, Sydney Morning Herald
“Readers of Eddings, Goodkind and Jordan will lap this one up.” – Starlog
“Utterly absorbing.” Stephen Davenport, Independent Weekly

Reviews of The Way Between the Worlds
“Brings the quartet to a convolutedly triumphant finale ... Irvine has brought both a lively intelligence and a keen moral sense to the heroics and spell-play of the modern fantasy novel.” – Roz Kaveney, Amazon UK
“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
“A twisted plot that stays nicely unpredictable to the end.” Locus

"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 ... Interest and originality there is aplenty – and action.’ Starburst.
“A page-turner of the highest order ... Arguably the most inventive fantasy author to emerge in recent years, Irvine can now consider himself comfortably ranked next to the works of Robert Jordan and David Eddings and, more appropriately, the mighty Anne McCaffrey. Formidable!” SFX.
“The final payoff is fantastic. The most unflaggingly inventive storyteller we’ve seen in years.” Sydney Morning Herald.
