Stephen R. Donaldson, already renowned for his dense world-building in the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, pivots here toward a narrative defined by subtle sorcery and the transformative power of belief. As Terisa Morgan finds herself increasingly embroiled in the shifting loyalties of the kingdom of Mordant, she must navigate a world where reflections are not merely visual, but gateways to lethal, hidden realities.\n\nDonaldson’s prose remains characteristically layered and psychological, focusing less on traditional epic tropes and more on the internal fortitude required to confront existential disillusionment. By stripping away the comfort of the familiar, he forces both his protagonist and the reader to grapple with the terrifying consequences of their own perceptions. This 1988 Collins edition is a sophisticated addition to any fantasy collection, representing a pivotal moment in the late-20th-century evolution of the genre, where classic high-fantasy architecture was reimagined through a lens of profound modern doubt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826063585499,"sku":"2026770001071-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5cfeed26-38cc-401c-a781-ddb60d5de434.png?v=1780311867","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001071-secondhand-a-man-rides-through-mordants-need-volume-ii","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
