Брент Уикс — библиография

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?

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?

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?

"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."

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…

Gavin Guile is dying. He’d thought he had five years left—now he has less than one. With fifty thousand refugees, a bastard son, and an ex-fiancée who may have learned his darkest secret, Gavin has problems on every side. All magic in the world is running wild and threatens to destroy the Seven Satrapies. Worst of all, the old gods are being reborn, and their army of color wights is unstoppable. The only salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole sixteen years ago.

Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. 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.

"I got a bit of prophecy," the old assassin said. "Not enough to be useful, you know. Just glimpses. My wife dead, things like that to keep me up late at night. I had this vision that I was going to be killed by forty men, all at once. But now that you're here, I see they're all you. Durzo Blint." Durzo Blint? Gaelan had never even heard the name. ***
Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He's also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he's worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity, and all too often he's become a hero, his very names passing into legend: Acaelus Thorne, Yric the Black, Hrothan Steelbender, Tal Drakkan, Rebus Nimble. But when Gaelan must take a job hunting down the world's finest assassins for the beautiful courtesan-and-crimelord Gwinvere Kirena, what he finds may destroy everything he's ever believed in.

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...

В мире Мидсайру царят жестокие нравы. Если не убьешь ты, то убьют тебя. Маленький воришка Азот убедился в этом на собственной шкуре, иначе бы он ни за что не пошел в ученики к Дарзо Блинту, наемному убийце. Как всякий вступивший на этот путь, юный ученик меняет имя. Теперь он не Азот, а Кайлар, и для того, чтобы по-настоящему овладеть профессией, ему нужно пробудить в себе колдовской талант. Тем временем в королевстве происходят события, не предвещающие для его жителей ничего хорошего. Убит наследный принц, похищен ка'кари, серебряный шар, способный сделать человека неуязвимым для любого оружия и продлить до бесконечности его жизнь, а на само королевство идет войной армия неприятеля.

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.

The razor-sharp first novel in the New York Times bestselling Night Angel series from master of modern fantasy Brent Weeks - an astonishing and epic tale of magic, violence and revenge. The perfect killer has no friends. Only targets. For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art. And he is the city's most accomplished artist, his talents required from alleyway to courtly boudoir. For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums, and learned the hard way 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.
