Surrounded by the flat reassurance of mirrors, she leads an unfulfilledlife—until the night a strange man named Geraden comes crashing through one of hermirrors, on a quest to find a champion to save his kingdom of Mordant from a pervasiveevil that threatens the land. Terisa is no champion. She wields neither magic norpower. And yet, much to her own surprise, when Geraden begs her to come back withhim, she agrees.

Now, in a culture where women are little more than the playthingsof powerful men, in a castle honeycombed with secret passages and clever traps, ina kingdom threatened from without and within by enemies able to appear and vanishout of thin air, Terisa must become more than the pale reflection of a person. Forthe way back to Earth is closed to her. And the enemies of Mordant will stop at nothingto see her dead.
