Synopsis

The incredible return to the New York Times bestselling world of the Night Angel, where master assassin Kylar Stern embarks on a new adventure as the High King Logan Gyre calls on him to save his kingdom and the hope of peace.

"Weeks has been showing other fantasy authors how it's done for over fifteen years." — Peter V. Brett, author of The Desert Prince

"Weeks is a giant of the genre." — Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld 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.

With rumors that a ka'kari may be found, adversaries both old and new are on the hunt. And if Kylar has learned anything, it’s that ancient magics are better left in the hands of those he can trust.

If he does the job right, he won’t need to kill at all. This isn’t an assassination — it’s a heist.

But some jobs are too hard for an easy conscience, and some enemies are so powerful the only answer lies in the shadows.

"Weeks writes in an inescapably engaging style. Breathlessly high stakes, terrible missteps, and unexpected revelations keep the story humming along at a breakneck pace." — Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter

About Brent Weeks

American author, Brent Weeks, had a very normal American upbringing upon being born in Whitefish, Montana in 1977. He developed a love for literature, which we all know can carry its readers to faraway places, escaping the reality of everyday living. He had a great fondness for Edgar Allen Poe, so his genre of writing was fantasy and mystery.

Weeks first novel, The Girl, was a complete failure, but as he says in his biography, skipping the boring parts, he has written eight best-selling novels. They include The Night Angel Trilogy and the Lightbringer Series for which he won several literary awards, and sold millions of copies. He also had a NYT best seller in his 2012 book, The Blinding Knife.

Weeks graduated from Hillsdale College in 2000 with an English degree. Before being a serious author, he taught briefly and was a bartender. He found his girl, Kristi Barnes, they were married and live in Oregon with their two daughters.

Goodreads review by Brent on September 04, 2023

Every once in a while, you read a book so brilliant, so breathtaking, so heartbreaking that you wish you could take the author aside and give him a big hug. This is that book for me. But hugging yourself is weird, so it'll never happen. Alas.......more

Goodreads review by Rachel (TheShadesofOrange) on April 16, 2023

4.0 Stars After loving the original trilogy this year, I have been eager to pick up this newest entry. I do recommend reading the first trilogy first because you'll get so much more out of this one if you already know the characters. It's clear how far Weeks has developed as an author since writing th......more

Goodreads review by Luke on April 30, 2023

I would like to preface this by saying I have adamantly loved every single one of Brent Weeks’ books; having read the original trilogy at least 5 times, bought each book, the omnibus, the tenth anniversary edition, buying it for others, and encouraging them to read it/buy it for themselves when I co......more

Goodreads review by Braxiatel on April 27, 2023

I am thinking that this book would be much better if literally everyone wasn't criminally annoying. I mean the plot is pretty meaty, the lore is interesting and the plot twists are entertaining though the plot sometimes is pretty slow. The big problem is the characters and I really struggle to root f......more

Goodreads review by Shirin on October 31, 2024

"Most people don’t understand my work: They think murder is the hard part. In the beginning, maybe. But even then the hard part wasn’t the dying; the hard part is the living. I deserve to be condemned to death. Instead, I’m condemned to live. This will be torture. But I’ll survive." You all were a li......more
