For the first time as an Orbit special edition, Brent Weeks's
blockbuster novella Perfect Shadow tells the origin story of the Night
Angel trilogy's most enigmatic character: Durzo Blint. Also includes the
short story, I, Nightangel.
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.
