Our view
“Night Angel Nemesis” takes Brent Weeks back to the world of the assassin Kylar Stern, chiefly for readers who already know him. Broken by a costly war and sworn off killing, Kylar still plans one last job before an amnesty frees a murderer he cannot forgive, while his friend the High King needs him to save the kingdom. Its more than nine hundred pages balance a tense mission against a hopeful undertone.

About the book
The incredible return to the New York Times bestselling world of the Night Angel, where master assassin Kylar Stern embarks on a new adventure as the High King Logan Gyre calls on him to save his kingdom and the hope of peace. Brett, author of The Desert Prince "Weeks is a giant of the genre." — Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld 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. "Weeks writes in an inescapably engaging style.
