The Moons of Mirrodin by Will McDermott (2003, Paperback)

This is an amazing book for any Magic: The Gathering fan. For the first time, the story of Magic escapes the plain of Dominaria and we are introduced to a whole new world full of new characters. With only a few mentions to the previous story base, "The Moons of Mirridon" gives the readers and fans a fresh start and a fresh look at the world of the Magic novel.
In this tale of action, adventure, drama, mystery, comedy, suspense, death, love, betrayal and destiny, the world of Mirridon is twisted inside out by chaos and magic. In this world of flesh and metal, a young Viridian elf girl must face her destiny. In one tragic night, Glissa faces the death of her family and the vast unknowingness of the world she has never seen. She ventures on a journey to avenge her family, but soon discovers that the fate of the world may rest in her hands.
Along the way, Glissa is joined by Slobad of the Krark-clan, Raksha of the Leonin order, Bosh, an ancient iron construct and Bruenna, a Neurok mage. Together they must face the decaying forces of the Mephidross, the science of the Vedalkens of Lumengrid and the evil mechanical forces of a being; they're not even sure exists.
She will face many difficulties along the way. She will lose hope and find despair. She will lose loved ones and find tragedy. She will lose faith and find uncertainty. Yet despite all this, she will venture on. She will find strength in her friends. She will find courage in her questing. And she will find purpose in the memories of those who have died.
Though many books have come before it, "The Moons of Mirridon" gives the Magic fan a fresh start into the world of the Magic novel. The reader is thrust into an incredible tale of adventure. This is one story that won't be put down until you find out the mystery of Mirridon; its origin, its people, its destiny and a single name, whispered behind the scenes, "MEMNARCH".
