Lightbringer

In a world where magic is strictly controlled, Guile, the all-powerful Prism, high priest and emperor, maintains a fragile peace. As the most powerful man in history, his wit, charm, and immense power are the only things holding his kingdom together. However, Prisms have a limited lifespan, and Guile is acutely aware of his impending end.

His world is irrevocably altered when he discovers he has a son, born in a distant kingdom years after the war that cemented Guile's rule. This revelation forces Guile into an impossible choice: protect his illegitimate son, a secret that could shatter his carefully constructed world and plunge it into chaos, or prioritize the stability of his kingdom. This epic fantasy launches the NYT bestselling Lightbringer series, promising action and adventure as Guile grapples with a decision that could cost him everything.

In the second novel of Brent Weeks’s bestselling Lightbringer series, Gavin Guile is dying, his powers fading as war engulfs the satrapies. He’d believed he had five years left, but now has less than one. Burdened with fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son, and an ex-fiancée who might expose his darkest secret, Gavin faces overwhelming challenges. All magic in the world runs wild, threatening to destroy the Seven Satrapies, while ancient gods are reborn, unleashing an unstoppable army of color wights. Gavin’s only hope for salvation may lie with the brother whose life and freedom he stole sixteen years ago.

As the old gods awaken and satrapies splinter, a devastating civil war threatens to engulf the known world. The Chromeria races to find Gavin Guile, the only man who can end it. But Gavin has been captured by an old enemy, enslaved on a pirate galley, and, critically, has lost his powers as Prism – unable to use magic at all. Without his father's protection, Kip Guile faces a master of shadows while his grandfather moves to choose a new Prism and seize power. Alongside Teia and Karris, Kip must survive a treacherous secret war between noble houses, religious factions, rebels, and an ascendant order of hidden assassins called The Broken Eye. This is the third book in Brent Weeks's bestselling Lightbringer series.

The fourth book in the Lightbringer series delivers a crisis of empire as the Seven Satrapies collapse to four and the White King's armies advance unchecked. Gavin Guile—once ex-emperor, ex-Prism, and the realm's last great hope—has vanished, leaving his allies to fight without him. Worse, he is now a prisoner in a magical cell he himself designed, stripped of all drafting ability, trapped with the unsettling possibility that he is not alone in that darkness.

In his absence, Kip Guile launches a desperate last stand against the White King's horde, while Karris White struggles to hold the fracturing empire together with the treacherous assistance of her father-in-law Andross Guile. Meanwhile Teia's rare paryl talents are drawn toward increasingly dark applications, and the price she may have to pay could prove unbearable. Together this scattered cast must fight to preserve a flawed empire before something far worse takes its place.

In the stunning conclusion to Brent Weeks's New York Times bestselling Lightbringer series, kingdoms clash as Kip Guile struggles to escape his family's shadow, fighting to protect the land and people he loves. Gavin Guile, once the world's most powerful man, has been laid low and stripped of his magic. Now on a perilous suicide mission, his failure will condemn the woman he loves, while his success threatens his entire empire. As the sinister White King springs his great traps and the Chromeria faces imminent treason and siege, Kip must gather his forces, rally crucial allies, and scramble to return for one impossible final stand against the encroaching darkness.
