The Mirror of the Worlds is the second in the Crown of the
Isles trilogy, which will conclude the epic Lord of the
Isles series. The Fortress of Glass began the tale of how
the new kingdom of the Isles is finally brought into being
by the group of heroes and heroines who have been central
to all the books in the series: Prince Garric, heir to the
throne of the Isles, his consort Liane, his sister Sharina,
her herculean sweetheart Cashel, and his sister Ilna. The
powers of magic in the Isles have flooded to a thousand-
year peak, and even local magicians can perform powerful
spells normally beyond their control. Fantastic forces from
all angles threaten, trying to keep Garric and his
companions apart to thwart the reunification of the Isles.
Now the world itself has suffered a magical upheaval. The
ocean has receded and the Isles have become the higher
ground of a newly formed continent. But the new continent
is a patchwork of geography from the distant past and
future, peopled by creatures from all times and places.
Garric and his companions must now struggle for the
survival of humanity.
