This is one of those books I see floating around the bookstore and an author that has almost an entire shelf just for their books. After years of seeing it I had 3 friends recommend it to me in one week last year so I finally grabbed a copy. I think it's time to dive in now! I've been looking at all my adult fiction titles I haven't read but wasn't focusing on the fantasy books I still need to tackle. I am READY.

SYNOPSIS

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.
