The Reflection on Mount Vitaki: Prequel to the Qavnerian Protectorate by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

An impossible journey…

Professor Kyra Row Kirilli feels the pull of the mysterious reflection on the mountain that lies across the Forbidden Valley. It calls to her.

But why? Even her husband, with his knowledge of magic, cannot provide an answer.

Kyra must embark on a journey to the source herself—a journey no one ever survives.

Set long before the original books in the bestselling epic fantasy series, The Reflection on Mount Vitaki expands the diverse world and powerful magic of The Fey into previously uncharted territory.
