The Black Prism

by Brent Weeks

Book Overview

In a world where magic is tightly controlled, the most powerful man in history must choose between his kingdom and his son in the first book in the epic NYT bestselling Lightbringer series.
Guile is the Prism. He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserves a tenuous peace. Yet 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.

Customer Reviews

Do yourself a favor and read this series!

This book is wonderfully written adult fantasy. The magic system is very original and the character development is astounding. You should definitely read this book.

This book is incredibly well written. It has a main character that wouldn't normally be a hero and the magic system in this series is absolutely excellent.
