Behold, a giant chunk of hellstone, crafted into a work of fine art:
And this one, which I think is a
Show Spoilerschi bane:
Here’s a chunk found in Davis, California:
And another found in Glass Butte, Oregon:
And this one, found for sale from someone in the UK:
This post is, I think, pretty self-explanatory.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
We’ve been holding on to this bit of fan art for a while, so we could really highlight it’s awesomitude ( or fantabulousness, if you prefer). Author Ben Galley animated the cover of THE BURNING WHITE (it’s a 10-second video, so you’ll need to press play):
Galley sent us a GIF as well, but note that it’s lower res and doesn’t look quite as cool:
Thanks for bringing this beautiful color to life, Ben!
You can check out his other work (including his fantasy series!) on Facebook and Twitter.
A lovely little town in Norway, nestled into a bucolic valley, is home to an array of giant mirrors that bring sunlight to its people for nearly half the calendar year. Without the array, Rjukan receives no natural sunlight from September to March!
Rumor has it that if you visit, you can see a bit of 400-year-old graffiti on the east-facing outer wall of the library that says, “L-DONI WAS HERE.”
Happy Boxing Day, y’all! Amazon is offering THE BLACK PRISM as a Kindle Daily Deal for $3.99. A steal at twice the price! (The above is also Brent’s affiliate link.)
This smokin’ hot deal won’t last long–open up that Amazon app and buy a copy–your brain will thank you.

This is the last Nine Kings Fan Art entry before the deadline this Saturday. We’re featuring a card submitted by Rianna Stahl–one that’s not canon, per se, but it’s fitting nonetheless.
Everyone on Team Weeks LOVES the entries y’all have sent in, and we’re super excited to see what else you’ve got!
Here’s the link to the list of cards mentioned in the books.
And FYI, this is the last week the Brent Weeks webstore will be open, so get those shirts and books while you can!
Today’s Nine Kings Fan Art Contest entry comes to us from Shea, who created a lovely rendition of Andross the Red.
As described in THE BLINDING KNIFE: “It was a young Andross Guile, handsome, strong, a warrior, a white dagger in his hand, tattered cloak billowing around him, three young boys behind him, one to his right, the other to his left, one barely visible in the distance. Orholam, he looks like a hero.”
If you enjoy Shea’s work as much as we do, and want to see more, she’s on Twitter @fairy_Fort and has a webcomic, Magefront.
And remember, the deadline for the contest is NOVEMBER 30!
First, we’re proud to share the New York Times Bestseller List:
