Publisher 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.

Don't buy it!
Before buying this I read the reviews and decided to try the sample to see if it is worth it. By the end of the sample I was really pleased with the book and decided to buy it to read the rest.
When I opened the book to the page the sample ended on I turned over and that was it. There was nothing else to the book. The rest of it was dedicated to the first chapter of Brent Weeks newest trilogy.
So I pretty much just bought something I can get in the sample of the book... Other then this it was a really good read and brought back good memories from the old series. I would advise if you want to read it just read the sample and trust me that is the whole of the book!
:/
Good to know more about the man but was really sort ... I wanted to know about him and the dragon haha.... Well it does say it's about blint not all his other life's ..... Just need more haha
Shame
Not what I expected. It felt rushed and didn't satisfy my massive curiosity about Durzo's history. Although I have to say I loved it and my only disappointment was that it wasn't longer.
