Royal Falcon
Mirror Magic Volume 1
A falcon binds their fates together.
For the sorcerer’s apprentice, Jokon, taking over the falcon is the only way for the student to leave his master's tower.
For Ioro, the eldest son of the king of Karapak, the falcon is the royal heraldic bird and the gods’ living legitimization of his family’s dominion.
The falcon makes them friends.
And they both sorely need friendship. Both the magic school and the Karapakian royal court are deadly viper dens.
They can only trust each other and hope that trust is not misplaced.
Falcon Warrior
Mirror Magic Volume 2
Her royal mother-in-law thinks she is a half-feral mountain bumpkin. Her royal father-in-law barely acknowledges her. And with respect to her husband, Tolioro, Sirit would have rejoiced had he followed his father’s example.
To make matters worse, she seems incapable of giving the kingdom the long-awaited heir to the throne. Sirit only bore daughters. Unwanted daughters.
Ioro, the only one in the royal family who ever spared her a kind word is far away, leading the Karapakian army against the desert tribes.
How can a weak, little woman, locked up in the harem prevent or, perhaps, start a war?
Desert Warrior
Mirror Magic Volume 3
Battle between the desert tribes and Tolor and Karapak was inevitable. The foundation stone for this war was laid a thousand years ago. But no one could have foreseen what this war would turn into. Not even the sorcerers had expected so many disastrous consequences.
The prophecies are misleading.
The oracles are no longer able to see what the future truly has in store.
The gods have thrown an unpredictable stone on the scales of the future.
The wheel of fate is ready to start turning.
