Description
The second book in the Lightbringer series, the blockbuster fantasy epic from international bestseller Brent Weeks. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb and Joe Abercrombie.
Gavin Guile is dying.
He'd thought he had five years left - now he's got less than one. With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son and an ex-fiancee who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin's got problems on every side.
As he loses control, the world's magic runs wild, threatening to destroy the Seven Satrapies. The old gods are being reborn and their army of colour wights is unstoppable.
The only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole sixteen years ago.
'Weeks has a style of immediacy and detail that pulls the reader relentlessly into the story. He doesn't allow you to look away' Robin Hobb
'Weeks writes in an inescapably engaging style' Andrea Stewart
'Weeks is a giant of the genre' Nicholas Eames
'Brent Weeks is so good it's beginning to tick me off' Peter V. Brett

'Weeks has truly cemented his place among the great epic fantasy writers of our time' British Fantasy Society

About the Author
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.
Reviews

Brent Weeks is so good it's starting to tick me off * Peter V. Brett *
One of the best examples of modern fantasy that I've read * FANTASY FACTION on THE BLACK PRISM *
Places Brent Weeks on comfortable footing beside contemporaries like Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, if not a step above * A DRIBBLE OF INK on THE BLINDING KNIFE *
