Publisher's Summary

The nail-biting continuation of the Lightbringer series from New York Times best seller Brent Weeks.

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.

Amazing Storytelling, Jarring Plot Hook

Fantastic storylines for Gavin, Liv, Karis, and The Mighty. I would read an entire book series just about Liv.

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.)

I like the many mini plots within the overall plot.

I like the many mini plots within the overall plot. I love that you shone a light on a sensitive issue for women. And I love how many scripture references were in it and disliked so many cuss words.
