As a reward for reading all the way to the end, here’s more about Night Angel Nemesis:

Brent Weeks returns to the New York Times bestselling world of the Night Angel in Night Angel Nemesis, following master assassin Kylar on a new adventure as the High King Logan Gyre calls on him to save his kingdom and the hope of peace.

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.

Brent Will Be at Rose City Comic Con!

Hi friends,

You may have noticed an update to the EVENTS page on this website. If you haven’t…. well, it’s a good thing you’re reading this now, isn’t it?!

Brent is a literary guest at Rose City Comic Con this year! He will be on a panel — SFF Authors & Real World Ideas — Saturday, September 10, with Robin Hobb, John Scalzi, Wesley Chu, and others. The discussion starts at 11am, and will be followed by a book signing in the RCCC bookstore.

This will be Brent’s first public appearance in the US in a long while, and he’s excited to see fans and friends–including some of you! (I say some of you because, frankly, there are a LOT of y’all. It’s so awesome.)
