However, one day, a young human asks her to tell him a tale. A tale from her past. The tale of how she’d brought this destruction upon them. Are the answers she seeks buried deep in her past? Hidden behind a lifetime of pain? Or is this truly to be the end of all? Epic in feel and scale, told from a first-person perspective, Reflection is a must read for those who are fans of Robin Hobb's The Assassin's Apprentice or Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind.

They danced and lurched on invisible strings that plucked them from both sides; the ricocheting pieces of jagged metal being even worse than the slugs.
