Someone will stop you," she said as if she were acustomed to defiance.  "If Geraden doesn't do it, I will.  You're going to be stopped."

"Geraden?" spat Gilbur.  "You?  How are you going to stop me?"

How?

Like this.

She didn't need to say it aloud.  He was still bearing down on her with his bloody hands when he seemed to run into a wall.  Surprise wiped the violence from his face: his eyes sprang wide as he saw what was happening to the mirror behind her.

She didn't look.  The last time she had done this, she had done it entirely by accident, without knowing what she was doing; she didn't try to coerce it now.  IN any case, at the moment she didn't care whether she lived or died.  She only cared about escape.

Still astonished, but recovering his wits, Master Gilbur reached for her.

Gently, Terisa closed her eyes and drifted backward into the dark.


Terisa Morgan despoerately needed to escape.  Gilbur was trying to kill her, Castellan Lebbick wanted to torture her, and she needed to find Graden.  Orison was being attacked by the Alend army poised at the gates... Eremis, the traitor, was working with Gilbur in league with the hated Cadwals and the Arch-Imager Vagel... King Joyse's actions could not be explained.

Everything that Geaden loved was about to be destroyed - unless the two of them could find a way to prevent it by using the talent for mirrors and Imagery that Terisa now ken they both possesed... a talent that made them extremely powerful and extremely dangerous to Eremis.  And Terisa knew that Eremis would use all tghe evil means at his disposal to insure the success of his master plan, which meant that the kingdom would be lost and she and Geraden would surely die.

A MAN RIDES THROUGH is the stunning conclusion in the compeling saga that began with THE MIRROR OF HER DREAMS.  It is a thrilling, action-packed, and complex novel that will delight readers everywhere... and reaffirm Stephen R. Donaldson position as the foremost practicioner of the epic fantasy form in the world today.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
