The Burning White
Synopsis
Gavin Guile was once the most powerful drafter the world had known. Now his magic is gone, and he has taken on a suicide mission. If he fails, the woman he loves is doomed. If he succeeds, he may bring down his own empire.
His son Kip is trying to get out from under his father's shadow. With the White King closing in, Kip must pull together the scattered forces of the Chromeria. The White King has been setting his traps for years, and now he springs them. The Chromeria faces treason from within and siege from without.
This is epic fantasy told from several points of view, with armies meeting in open war and old gods stirring. The scale is large and the plotting dense, so the book is written for readers already invested in the characters.
It is the fifth and final volume of the Lightbringer saga. The series has circled one question from its first pages, who the Lightbringer is, and this book answers it. Anyone who has followed Kip and Gavin from the beginning will find their stories brought to a close here.
