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.
This is truly the start of something epic to get your teeth into. With particular attention to deviousness and a roundabout approach to the truth from all players, there’s some serious magic, action and drama going on in this world. Utterly loved it.
