The second book in the Lightbringer series, the blockbuster fantasy epic from international bestseller Brent Weeks

Gavin Guile is dying.

Hed thought he had five years left - now hes got less than one. With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son and an ex-fiancee who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavins got problems on every side.

As he loses control, the worlds 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.
