Groundbreaking, intriguing, and captivating, New York Times bestselling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch's The Reflection on Mount Vitaki sets the stage to launch her acclaimed Fey series into exciting new territory.

When Kyra Row Kirilli feels the pull of the mysterious reflection on the mountain across the Forbidden Valley, she knows she must embark on an impossible journey—one no one ever survives. Introducing undiscovered lands and deftly blending fantasy and steampunk elements, Kristine Kathryn Rusch's first foray into the Qavnerian Protectorate saga adds rich new backstory to the groundbreaking Fey series.

Set long before The Sacrifice, this novella introduces compelling new characters and intriguing new locations to the rich world of the Fey and demonstrates Rusch's power as the greatest storyteller of our time.

"A very good, very large fantasy...nicely done and with a particularly satisfying and unexpected resolution."

—Science Fiction Chronicle on The Sacrifice

"Rusch's greatest strength…is her ability to close down a story and leave the reader feeling that the author could not possibly have wrung any more satisfaction out of the piece."

—The Kansas City Star

"Kristine Kathryn Rusch integrates the fantastic elements so rigorously into her story that it is often hard to remember she is not merely recording the here and now."

—Science Fiction Weekly

"Whether [Rusch] writes high fantasy, horror, sf, or contemporary fantasy, I've always been fascinated by her ability to tell a story with that enviable gift of invisible prose. She's one of those very few writers whose style takes me right into the story—the words and pages disappear as the characters and their story swallows me whole…. Rusch has style."

—Charles de Lint
