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.

Industry Reviews
"One of the best Fantasy books of 2012!"--A Dribble of Ink on The Blinding Knife ..".A solid, entertaining yarn."--The Onion A.V. Club on The Black Prism "Weeks manages to ring new tunes on...old bells, letting a deep background slowly reveal its secrets and presenting his characters in a realistically flawed and human way."--Publishers Weekly on The Black Prism "One of the best epic fantasies I've ever read."--Staffer's Book Review on The Blinding Knife "The Blinding Knife is a wonderful work of high fantasy with engaging characters facing the perfect antagonists, set in a creatively-wrought and increasingly chaotic world brimful of imaginative magic and interesting politics. Weeks holds fast to the traditions of his genre while adding a compelling new flavor."--The Ranting Dragon "His plot feels like an orchestrated chess match between genius grandmasters."--Publishers Weekly on The Broken Eye "The Lightbringer series is great fun. Nobody does break-neck pacing and amazingly-executed plot twists like Brent Weeks."--Brian McClellan, author of Promise of Blood "Brent Weeks is so good it's starting to tick me off."--Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Spear on The Night Angel Trilogy "Brent Weeks has a style and immediacy of detail that pulls the reader relentlessly into his story. He doesn't allow you to look away."--Robin Hobb
