Dark Mirror — Brian C. Kershner

Twenty-five years have passed since the conclusion of the second generation of the prophecies of the Coromor and the victory against Shau-ling and his children the Phasia. However, the shocking conclusion of that battle has resulted in a decree from the Creator that shakes the very foundation of the war between the Light and the Shadow. Two realities now exist: One in which the heroes of the Light have enjoyed their hard-won peace as they prepare for the coming of the war again, minus their greatest legends. In the other reality, one under the thumb of the malicious Phasia, the legendary champions of the Light still fight a seemingly hopeless battle to turn the tide and rescue victory from the jaws of defeat. But there is a new threat hanging over the embattled world, the promise of total destruction at the hands of the Creator himself, if neither the Light nor the Shadow claim victory in both realities. The patron of the Light, Emries, and the Lord of Shadow, Shau-ling, have no choice but to resort to unthinkable measures as they vie to exterminate one another. Will the reign of the third Coromor end before it has a chance to begin? Can the heroes of the Light triumph in a world where all hope has been lost? What role will the enigmatic first Chosen One Aerith Seth play in the evolving battle? Witness the fates of two intertwined realities unfold in The Quietus of Fate: Dark Mirror.
