About this listen

 Rulke the Great Betrayer is free at last to use the deadly construct he has spent a thousand years perfecting. To succeed he needs just one thing: Karan's sensitive talent. Karan and her lover Llian are lost in the Nightland, in an alien palace that is collapsing around them. Only Rulke can open the gate and send them home to Santhenar, but Karan is terrified that he will corrupt Llian first. Yggur and Mendark, sworn enemies, struggle to tame the power of the rift. They must seal the gate before Rulke brings forth his construct. If they fail he will ravage the world. And if they succeed, Karan and Llian will be trapped in the Nightland for eternity. This is a refreshed cover edition.©1999 Ian Irvine (P)2010 Bolinda Publishing Classics Fantasy Fiction Science Fiction

Critic reviews

'Ian Irvine is a great find! ... Complicated, and compelling.' (Kate Elliott, author of King's Dragon)
'Compelling ... this stands out as a worldbuilding labour of love with some truly original touches.' (Locus)
'Complex, well written ... a tremendous depth of description.' (Mid West Book Review)
'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)
'Award-winning actor and narrator Grant Cartwright's semi-voiced reading captures the emotional edge of the hatreds and fears that motivate each character. He has a wide range of accents and voices which he uses effectively to convey the nuances of this complex tale.' (SoundCommentary)

Great energy from grant Cartwright narrating, as it picks up from the end of book 2. And travels back to previous locations and to some new ones ; including a run in with some pirates. The complexities of the characters begin to make you wonder who is on the right side, if there is aright side.
