From the author of the New York Times bestselling Night Angel trilogy comes an action-packed tale of magic and adventure...

Gavin 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 Gavin 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.

Gavin Guile is dying.

He'd thought he'd have 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.
