Lightbringer

Gavin Guile is the Prism, high priest and emperor, whose unparalleled power, strategic brilliance, and sheer charisma maintain a fragile peace across the Seven Satrapies. His immense capabilities, however, come with a finite lifespan, and a shocking discovery of a hidden son forces him to confront a past that threatens to unravel his world.

Gavin is a charismatic and formidable leader, burdened by a complex history and the immense, often morally compromising, responsibility of his office. His estranged son, Kip, begins his journey as an unlikely and often underestimated outsider, struggling to find his place and purpose in a world he barely understands.

Across five epic volumes, this series plunges into a sprawling, multi-faceted conflict where intricate political intrigue, grand military strategy, and ancient, awakening prophecies collide. Readers witness an initially all-powerful figure grapple with fading strength and devastating imprisonment, while an unlikely hero rises from obscurity, battling not only external threats but profound personal demons and the weight of a complex legacy. It's a journey filled with moral ambiguities, intense sacrifices, and the relentless march of a world teetering on the brink of civil war and divine awakening.
