New York Times bestseller

The Broken Eye continues the spectacular Lightbringer series from the New York Times bestselling author of The Black Prism and The Blinding Knife.

As the old gods awaken and satrapies splinter, the Chromeria races to find the only man who can still end a civil war before it engulfs the known world. But Gavin Guile has been captured by an old enemy and enslaved on a pirate galley. Worse still, Gavin has lost more than his powers as Prism--he can't use magic at all.

Without the protection of his father, Kip Guile will face a master of shadows as his grandfather moves to choose a new Prism and put himself in power. With Teia and Karris, Kip will have to use all his wits to survive a secret war between noble houses, religious factions, rebels, and an ascendant order of hidden assassins called The Broken Eye.

The nail-biting conclusion to the Lightbringer series from New York Times bestseller Brent Weeks.

Stripped of both magical and political power, the people he once ruled told he's dead, and now imprisoned in his own magical dungeon, former Emperor Gavin Guile has no prospect of escape. But the world faces a calamity greater than the Seven Satrapies has ever seen... and only he can save it.

As the armies of the White King defeat the Chromeria and old gods are born anew, the fate of worlds will come down to one question: Who is the Lightbringer?

Даже самый яркий свет рождает тьму.

В любой кромешной тьме скрывается тайна.

Каждая тайна ослепляет правдой.

Гэвин Гайл умирает.

Он рассчитывал на пять лет, но теперь у него осталось меньше года. Пятьдесят тысяч беженцев, внебрачный сын и бывшая невеста, которая, кажется, узнала самый страшный секрет Призмы — проблемы окружают Гэвина со всех сторон. Вся магия мира вышла из-под контроля и грозит уничтожить Семь Сатрапий.

Хуже всего, что в мир возвращаются старые боги, и поклоняющуюся им армию магов цвета уже не остановить. Единственный шанс на спасение Гайла — брат, чью свободу и жизнь Гэвин украл шестнадцать лет назад.

For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art - and he is the city's most accomplished artist.
For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums, and learned to judge people quickly - and to take risks. Risks like apprenticing himself to Durzo Blint.
But to be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new identity and name. As Kylar Stern, he must learn to navigate the assassins' world of dangerous politics and strange magics - and cultivate a flair for death.

Гэвин Гайл – император, первосвященник и маг, которому осталось всего пять лет жизни. Он стремится исправить последствия затянувшейся войны против своего злого брата Дазена Гайла, но в результате вынужден признать незаконнорожденного сына и встретиться лицом к лицу с коррумпированными чиновниками. Как назовут правителя, бросившего вызов государственной религии — героем или еретиком?

Черные дела творятся в мире Мидсайру. Предательство следует за предательством. Трон Сенарии незаконно захвачен Гэротом Урсуулом, объявившим себя королем-богом. Логан Джайр, законный наследник, вынужден скрываться в подземных норах от преследования жестокой власти. Кайлар Стерн, профессиональный убийца и обладатель колдовского таланта, решает навсегда расстаться с…

Черные маги рвутся к власти в мире Мидсайру. Если три магических артефакта древности - черный ка'кари, жезл Правосудия и волшебный меч Кьюрох - окажутся в их руках, маги пробудят от сна титана, покоящегося в Черном Кургане, и он, возглавив полчища мертвецов, пройдет по миру, не щадя ничего живого. Единственная надежда мира - Кайлар Стерн, бывший профессиональный…

After the war that cost him so much, Kylar Stern is broken and alone. He's determined not to kill again, but an impending amnesty will pardon the one murderer he can't let walk free. He promises himself this is the last time. One last hit to tie up the loose ends of his old, lost life.

But Kylar's best — and maybe only — friend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan’s new kingdom, and the king’s twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war.

With rumors that a ka'kari may be found, adversaries both old and new are on the hunt. And if Kylar has learned anything, it’s that ancient magics are better left in the hands of those he can trust.

If he does the job right, he won’t need to kill at all. This isn’t an assassination — it’s a heist.

But some jobs are too hard for an easy conscience, and some enemies are so powerful the only answer lies in the shadows.

Gavin Guile, once the most powerful man the world had ever seen, has been laid low. He's lost his magic, and now he is on a suicide mission. Failure will condemn the woman he loves. Success will condemn his entire empire.

As the White King springs his great traps and the Chromeria itself is threatened by treason and siege, Kip Guile must gather his forces, rally his allies, and scramble to return for one impossible final stand.
