Book description
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 of his magic, all magic is running
wild, threatening to destroy the Seven Satrapies. The old gods are being
reborn. Their army of color wights is unstoppable, and the only
salvation may be the brother whose freedom and life Gavin stole sixteen
years ago. Brent Weeks studied at Hillsdale College, before brief
stints walking the earth like Caine from Kung-Fu, also tending bar, and
corrupting the youth. (Not at the same time.) He started writing on
napkins and, eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent doesn't own cats
or wear a ponytail.
