As the White King springs his great trap, and the Chromeria itself is threatened by treason and siege, Kip Guile and his companions will scramble to return for one impossible final stand. In the darkest hour, will the Lightbringer come?  

As the old gods awaken and satrapies splinter, the Chromeria races to find the only man who might 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...

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...

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.

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.

The Blood Mirror is the action-packed new audiobook in the Lightbringer series by international best seller Brent Weeks. 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.

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.

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. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live: Five years to achieve five impossible goals. But 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.

Kylar has rejected the assassin's life. In the wake of the Godking's violent coup, both his master and his closest friend are dead. His friend was Logan Gyre, heir to Cenaria's throne, but few of the ruling class survive to mourn his loss. So Kylar is starting over: new city, new companions, and new profession. But when he learns that Logan might be alive, trapped and in hiding, Kylar faces an impossible choice.

Gavin Guile es el Prisma, el hombre más poderoso del mundo, además de sumo sacerdote y emperador, encargado de mantener una paz frágil que solo se sostiene en virtud de su poder, ingenio y carisma. Pero la vida de los Prismas nunca es larga, y Guile sabe con exactitud de cuánto tiempo dispone: cinco años en los que deberá lograr otros tantos objetivos imposibles.

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 pensaba disponer de cinco años más de existencia como Prisma, pero resulta que le queda menos de uno. Con cincuenta mil refugiados a su cargo, por no hablar de un hijo ilegítimo que hay que formar en las artes mágicas y una ex novia que podría haber descubierto su más oscuro secreto, le llueven los problemas.

La muerte es un arte, y Durzo Blint lo ejecuta a la perfección, sea en una callejuela oscura o en las grandes estancias de palacio. Incluso el poderoso Sa'kagé, la organización criminal que mueve los hilos y los intereses en la ciudad de Cenaria, lo respeta.

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

Gavin Guile stirbt. Der hoch geehrte Lord Prisma glaubte, er hätte noch fünf Jahre zu leben - doch jetzt bleibt ihm nicht mal mehr eines. Viel zu wenig Zeit, um auch nur seine drängendsten Probleme zu lösen: Denn die alten Götter werden wiedergeboren und setzen sich an die Spitze einer unbesiegbaren Armee, die Tausende von verängstigten Flüchtlingen vor sich hertreibt. Gavins einzige Chance, dem tödlichen Chaos Einhalt zu gebieten, könnte ausgerechnet sein Bruder sein - dessen Leben er vor sechzehn Jahren raubte.

Gavin Guile, der ehemalige Lord Prisma, sitzt in einem Kerker, in dem Albträume wahr werden - und den er selbst geschaffen hat. Sein Sohn Kip, der alles tun würde, um seinen Vater zu befreien, weiß nicht einmal, dass Gavin noch lebt. Stattdessen bricht Kip mit seinen Gefährten auf, um dem schrecklichen Farbprinzen gegenüberzutreten. In diesem Kampf wird sich herausstellen, ob Kip wirklich der prophezeite Lichtbringer ist. Doch ist der Farbprinz der wahre Feind?

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?
