About this listen
When does an empire fall?
The Seven Satrapies have collapsed into four-and those are falling before the White King's armies.
Gavin Guile, ex-emperor, ex-Prism, ex-galley slave, formerly the one man who might have averted war, is now lost, broken, and trapped in a prison crafted by his own hands to hold a great magical genius. But Gavin has no magic at all. Worse, in this prison, Gavin may not be alone.
Kip Guile will make a last, desperate attempt to stop the White King's growing horde. Karris White attempts to knit together an empire falling apart, helped only by her murderous and possibly treasonous father-in-law Andross Guile.
Meanwhile, Teia's new talents will find a darker use-and the cost might be too much to bear.
Together, they will fight to prevent a tainted empire from becoming something even worse.
Devour this blockbuster epic fantasy series that had Peter V. Brett saying, "Brent Weeks is so good, it's starting to tick me off!"

What the critics say
Amazing

I love you Brent Weeks!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Baffling storyline for Kip and Tysus. I understand that what they struggled with is a serious condition that more people should be aware of... but while we're on that subject, why not talk about the issue of 17th century soldiers who defecate their guts out and die from dysentery, or how nobles deal with not impregnating their room slaves. Do condoms exist? Made from... orange luxen?
The point is, I don't care to know the answers to these questions in my fantasy novels. I do also read historical fiction, but that's not what this book is.
(Sorry for spelling - I've never seen any of the above names and terms in written.)
