Every light casts a shadow.
Gavin Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. His strength, wit, and charm are all that preserve a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live.
When Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

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.
