Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! DescriptionThe Broken Eye is the exhilarating third instalment in the Lightbringer series by international bestseller Brent Weeks. This blockbuster fantasy epic continues to captivate with its rich world-building, intricate plot, and unforgettable characters.
As ancient gods begin to stir and satrapies splinter, the Chromeria is in a desperate race to avert chaos. The landscape of war and politics is shifting rapidly, and the fragile balance of power teeters on the brink of collapse. Central to this turmoil is Gavin Guile, once the powerful Prism and now a prisoner on a pirate galley. Stripped of his magical abilities, he must grapple with the loss of his identity and the daunting challenge of survival.
Meanwhile, young Kip Guile finds himself thrust into the heart of a covert war that threatens to consume everything he holds dear. Kip's lineage places him in mortal danger as his sinister grandfather, Andross Guile, schemes to elevate a new Prism and seize control for himself. Together with Teia, a young assassin, and Karris, a fierce warrior, Kip must navigate a perilous landscape filled with political intrigue, shadowy factions, and the lethal order known as The Broken Eye.
Brent Weeks' narrative is masterfully crafted, filled with immediacy and intricate detail that immerses readers into the tumultuous world of the Seven Satrapies. The stakes are higher than ever, and the pace never lets up as old loyalties are tested and new alliances are forged.

About the Author
