Gavin Guile is dying. He'd thought he had five years left—now he has less than one. With 50,000 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 Seven Satrapies have collapsed into four - and those are falling before the White King's armies. Gavin Guile, ex-emperor, ex-Prism, ex-galley slave, formerly the one man who might have averted war, is now lost, broken, and trapped in a prison crafted by his own hands to hold a great magical genius. But Gavin has no magic at all. Worse, in this prison Gavin may not be alone.

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.

For the first time as an Orbit special edition, Brent Weeks's blockbuster novella Perfect Shadow tells the origin story of the Night Angel trilogy's most enigmatic character: Durzo Blint. 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.

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.

As the old gods awaken and satrapies splinter, the Chromeria races to find its lost Prism, the only man who may be able to stop catastrophe. But Gavin Guile is enslaved on a pirate galley. Worse, Gavin no longer has the one thing that defined him - the ability to draft. Without the protection of his father, Kip Guile will have to face a master of shadows alone as his grandfather moves to choose a new Prism and put himself in power.

A new queen has usurped the throne and is leading Cenaria into disaster. The country has become a broken realm with a threadbare army, little food, and no hope. Kylar Stern plans to reinstate his closest friend Logan as King, but can he really get away with murder? In the north, the Godking's death has thrown Khalidor into civil war. To gain the upper hand, one faction attempts to raise the goddess Khali herself. But they are playing with volatile powers, and trigger conflict on a vast scale. Seven armies will converge to save - or destroy - an entire continent.

Endlich! Das lange erwartete Finale der Licht-Saga. Kip Guile hat einen Weg gefunden, den Bann des Weißen Königs zu brechen. Er und seine Freunde atmen auf. Denn noch besteht Hoffnung für die Chromeria, und die Mächtigen rüsten sich zur letzten Schlacht. Gleichzeitig macht Kips Vater Gavin eine Entdeckung, die die Welt erschüttern wird, sollte sie jemals davon erfahren. Doch all das ist beinahe nebensächlich, denn eine Frage überschattet alles: Wer ist der Lichtbringer?

La partida ha empezado. Todas las piezas han tomado posiciones e inician sus movimientos. Todas menos una. Tras la muerte de Durzo Blint, su maestro, y de Logan, su mejor amigo y el legítimo heredero al trono, Kylar Stern siente que ya nada le ata a Cenaria, un país sometido a los caprichos del invasor: el rey dios Garoth Ursuul. Mientras los incendios y el pillaje se adueñan de la metrópoli, mientras miles de refugiados emprenden la huida y los resistentes se disponen a luchar, Kylar decide renunciar a su antigua vida.

Gavin Guile ist der hoch geehrte Lord Prisma. Allein seine magischen Fähigkeiten, seine Intelligenz und seine Überzeugungskraft bewahren...

El hambre y la desesperación se adueñan del reino. Para evitar que estalle una guerra civil, Logan, el legítimo heredero, cede el trono a una de las nobles que encabezó la causa rebelde. Mientras, en el norte, se alza un nuevo rey dios. Su plan es una auténtica locura, aunque si logra sacarlo adelante nadie podrá pararle los pies jamás.
