Book description
Discover the origins of Durzo Blint in this original novella set in the
world of Brent Weeks' New York Times bestselling Night Angel trilogy.
"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. Word count: ~17,000 Brent
Weeks studied at Hillsdale College, before brief stints walking the
earth like Caine from Kung-Fu, also tending bar, and corrupting the
youth. (Not at the same time.) He started writing on napkins and,
eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent doesn't own cats or wear a
ponytail.
