It begins with young Lilia, who grew up under one sky and was forced through a rip in the world to a place with a different sky: a mirror universe. Her mother sent her there as soldiers overran their village, and for years Lilia lived a hidden life as a scullery maid in an unfamiliar realm. She and others like her are now being sought because of their ability to call on the power of Oma, a star that has not been seen for 2,000 years. The blood of thousands of the dead will be used to bridge the worlds and allow invaders to cross over.
VERDICT This is a hugely ambitious work, bloody and violent, with interestingly gender-flipped politics and a host of factions to keep straight, as points of view switch often. Although it is a challenging read, the strong narrative thread in this new series from Hurley (God's War) pulls readers through the imaginative tangle of multiple worlds and histories colliding.
