His strength, wit and charm are all that preserve a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live. When Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin's got problems on every side.

But Gavin Guile has been captured by an old enemy and enslaved on a pirate galley. Worse still, Gavin has lost more than his powers as Prism - he can't use magic at all. Without the protection of his father, Kip Guile will face a master of shadows as his grandfather moves to choose a new Prism and put himself in power. With Teia and Karris, Kip will have to use all his wits to survive a secret war between noble houses, religious factions, rebels and an ascendant order of hidden assassins called The Broken Eye.

About the author

In a small-town Montana school at age 12, Brent Weeks met the two great loves of his life. Edgar Allan Poe introduced him to the power of literature to transcend time and death and loneliness. Fate introduced him to The Girl, Kristi Barnes. He began his pursuit of each immediately.

The novel was a failure. The Girl shot him down.

Since then–skipping the boring parts–Brent has written eight best-selling novels with the Night Angel Trilogy and the Lightbringer Series, won several industry awards, and sold a few million books.

Brent and his wife Kristi live in Oregon with their two daughters. (Yeah, he married The Girl.)

Great series, and very emotional. The characters all have different characteristics and the world building is good too. A lot of hidden twists and turns in the story. Got me hooked from beginning to end

[Dennis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting set of books. I like the detail, how the characters evolved and surprised me
Yes the book has sexist theme and slaves
The world is rough, they are looking for the light bringer. Yeah good arc
I will have to read them again

One of the things I look for in a good fantasy series is the magic system. Someone who can put together an entire new lens through which to see the world, and also apply a sort of logic to it. An example of this not being done well would be Harry Potter or (even though I love it) Lord of the Rings. You wave a wand, you say a some mystical word in a long-forgotten language and viola - magic... It can add mystery, sure, but when you get an author like Brent Weeks, he takes it to a whole different level. In this particular series, Brent takes this magic system and turns it into a classroom lesson that you could almost believe. There are physics explanations with so much detail it is like your in a collegiate classroom, explanations to the form, how it might effect the individual, their psyche, the world around it, etc. I haven't found a logical flaw in this magic system yet (other than the fact it's magic, of course...). Apart from that, the magic system is just COOL. I won't give spoilers, but it is absolutely fascinating and adds so much malleability and diversity to what the characters can do with a little wit - similar to Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series where they combine different metallurgy powers to create unexpected results.

Another thing I deeply appreciate about Brent Weeks is that he is a realist without being vulgar. You get an author like R.R. Martin and - while he is a good writer - the form is blunt, crude, and without grace. Brent Weeks can talk about terrible topics like rape, slavery, abuse, war, etc, and it makes you empathize with the pain and terror that the characters experience, drawing you further into the story instead of just going "Well that's gross. Moving on."

Although the first book had me intrigued, I was not convinced the series I would finish the series. After starting with the second book, however, I was hooked. The world, the magic, the intrigues are all interesting and fun to read how they develop of the five books.

I read the book trying to find something similar to Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere books. I was not disappointed!

[Susan Meier · Rating 4 out of 5]

As much fun as it's possible to have. Thanks for adding to my life's pleasures, Brent. (Can't give it a five because it's not a masterpiece of writing. Just terrific story telling, lost of familiar tropes, familiar because they work.

[Leesa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Including books #4 & 5, this was an excellent series! Fun, imaginative, humorous, well written, a page turner (nowhere does it drag), w/ adventure, self-discovery and sacrifice, teen angst, romance, strong women characters, lots of battles, and more.
Esp loved the evolution of Gaven/Dazen.

[Jake Dry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Was a good base, not a fan of the god aspect being so strong. Good though.

[Cathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolt loved this series. I kept putting Book 5 down because I just didn't want it to end. Such a fascinating and well-crafted world and characters.

[Jesse Spence · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Dan Reinbolt · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Laurence Miller · Rating 3 out of 5]

[Cristian Ramírez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probablemente sea laejor saga, lástima que el cuarto libro no esté traducido al español.

[Camilla Payne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I procrastinated finishing the last few chapters for months. That’s how much I loved this series ❤️

[Joe Perlongo · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best series i have read.

[Todd Wardwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an epic fantasy series set in a 1700's level of musket/cannon technology.
If you grew up on Harry Potter and want a fantasy series with a similar punch without kiddie themes thrown in to hold the interest of YA readers than this series is for you. In a completely amazing switch of character archetypes, spell casters with dark (black/brown) skin is prized as they are able to hide their spell casting which causes a "drafters" skin to turn colors while doing it. The series was not predictable and tackled themes of religious and gender patriarchy, slavery, classism, political elitism, And general human conditions of love,loss, vengeance,faith and friendship. I loved it.

[Jimmie Bowling · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great series. Took a bit to get into the magic system, but once you get the hang of it, the politics and character development were very captivating.

[Rick Mules · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once I came to terms with the amount of discription to set up the world aspect of the Book.
I found this series absolutly riveting.
I wont write anything about the series as I believe it may spoil the reading experience of others.
Fantastic read
