Brent Weeks’ new novella, Perfect Shadow is out now in ebook and digital audio editions! It’s an exciting look back at his New York Times Bestselling Night Angel Trilogy and it focuses on the “birth” of Durzo Blint, the man who taught Kylar everything he knows about being a Night Angel. At about 17,000 words it’s a great entrance into the Night Angel trilogy for new readers — and if you’re a fan? You’ll be blown away the action, the adventure … and the danger.

“I got a bit of prophecy,” the old assassin said. “Not enough to be useful, you know. Just glimpses. My wife dead, things like that to keep me up late at night. I had this vision that I was going to be killed by forty men, all at once. But now that you’re here, I see they’re all you. Durzo Blint.”

Durzo Blint? Gaelan had never even heard the name.

***
Gaelan Starfire is a farmer, happy to be a husband and a father; a careful, quiet, simple man. He’s also an immortal, peerless in the arts of war. Over the centuries, he’s worn many faces to hide his gift, but he is a man ill-fit for obscurity, and all too often he’s become a hero, his very names passing into legend: Acaelus Thorne, Yric the Black, Hrothan Steelbender, Tal Drakkan, Rebus Nimble.

But when Gaelan must take a job hunting down the world’s finest assassins for the beautiful courtesan-and-crimelord Gwinvere Kirena, what he finds may destroy everything he’s ever believed in.
