In the slums of Cenaria, survival is earned blade by blade.
Azoth knows fear better than most. As a guild rat, every day is a gamble. But when he dares to approach Durzo Blint—the city’s deadliest assassin—he trades fear for something colder. Purpose.
Under Durzo’s ruthless guidance, Azoth sheds his past and becomes Kylar Stern. Training in shadows and blood, he learns that assassination is more than survival, it’s an art. But in a city ruled by crime lords and hidden magic, art has a steep price.
Kylar must decide who he is: the boy who fled the streets, or the man who kills for coin and country.
In this first book of The Night Angel Trilogy, Brent Weeks carves a tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and deadly ambition.
