The Blood Mirror

fullDescription

Gavin Guile is missing, leaving Kip and his allies to face the White King's horde in the fourth novel of the NYT bestselling Lightbringer series by Brent Week's.
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!"

      Bestseller Weeks keeps the pot simmering with many secrets revealed and much verbal sparring in this fourth volume (after 2014’s The Broken Eye) of dramatic epic fantasy warfare in a land ruled by the ruling Chromeria, a council of color mages. Gavin Guile, trapped in the prison he built for his brother, negotiates with his devious father, Andross, for a chance to escape. Gavin’s wife, Karris White Oak, is the most powerful member of the Chromeria; she also tries to join forces with Andross, the council’s war leader, to stop the spreading rebellion led by her brother, the Color Prince, against the Chromeria’s rule. The prince now styles himself the White King, and his forces are consolidating his victories and preparing for the next assault. Kip, Gavin’s adopted son, leads his own counterattack and struggles with a destiny that may force him to be the reformer of the Chromeria’s official religion. Weeks deftly moves the pieces around his chessboard, snapping them with assured feeling onto their new squares in preparation for a climactic confrontation. Readers will need to pay careful attention to catch all the political and social machinations.

      This is the fourth entry in the burgeoning "Lightbringer" series, whose first three titles--The Black Prism, The Blinding Knife, and The Broken Eye--have placed higher and higher on the New York Times best sellers list. Emperor Gavin Guile has been locked in his own dungeon, bereft of both magic and power, when a cataclysm hits that only he can counter. From a skyrocketing fantasy star; with a 150,000-copy first printing.
