From the author of the Night Angel trilogy comes an action-packed tale of magic and adventure.
Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. His strength, wit and charm are all that preserve a tenuous peace. Yet 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 over two million copies of his books in print, Brent Weeks has become one of the fastest selling new fantasy authors of all time.

Brent Weeks studied at Hillsdale College, before brief stints walking the earth like Caine from KUNG FU, also tending bar and corrupting the youth (not at the same time). He started writing on napkins and, eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent doesn't own cats or wear a ponytail.
