Mordant's Need

Mordant's Need is a two-volume fantasy series by Stephen R. Donaldson (better known for the Thomas Covenant and The Gap Cycle series) which tells the story of a woman named Terisa who travels from our modern world to a medieval setting where political and military struggles are entwined with the power of Imagery, a form of magic based on mirrors. The books deal with themes of reality, power, inaction and love in the context of a fantasy adventure. The intrigue is complex and the characters are some of Donaldson's most memorable. This series is also much lighter in tone than either The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever or The Gap Cycle.
