Брент Уикс – лучшие книги

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?

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.

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 профессией и перекроить судьбу. Но, узнав о судьбе Логана, своего лучшего друга, Кайлар встает перед мучительным выбором: или отказаться от Пути тени и жить в покое, или пойти на великий риск и совершить последнее в своей жизни, решающее убийство.

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 убийца, а теперь ночной ангел, награжденный даром бессмертия. Он готов выйти на бой со злом, но судьба ставит его перед мучительным выбором: чтобы вступить в борьбу, он должен пожертвовать самым для него дорогим - своей возлюбленной и младенцем, которого она носит под сердцем...

GAVIN GUILE IS DYING.

He'd thought he had five years left - now he's got less than one. With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin's got problems on every side.

As he loses control, the world's magic runs wild, threatening to destroy the Seven Satrapies. The old gods are being reborn and their army of colour wights is unstoppable.

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.

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?

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.

But now that you're here, I see they're all you. Durzo Blint." Durzo Blint?

"Two sentries. Kip was going to have to kill two sentries, silently, before they could raise any sort of alarm. The light was weak – the sun still hidden by the mountains – but Kip put on his green spectacles, and bent the temple tips tight around his ears. He was lying on his stomach, hidden in the bushes, and the sentries were a good sixty paces away, over open ground, up a gravel trail. Suicide. She’s going to die at dawn, Kip. Kip balled his fists. It was a terrible plan. It was the only plan."
