The Black Prism

Book • 2010
Set in a pre-industrial fantasy world with advanced technology like gunpowder and simple machines, The Black Prism is part of the Lightbringer series.

The story revolves around Gavin Guile, known as the Prism, who has the ability to draft magic from every color spectrum.

However, he is facing his impending death, having only five years left due to the magical constraints of his role.

The narrative explores themes of conflict, resentment, and love, and introduces several key characters, including Kip, Gavin's illegitimate son, and Liv, a less-talented drafter whose father was a renowned general.

The book delves into a richly detailed world with a complex system of magic based on the color spectrum and the consequences of exceeding one's magical limits.
