They demand payment, beat them, steal their food and even force themselves upon the weaker ones… The older children in the guild literally make the younger children’s lives hell. These guilds are full of young children who basically work together in order to steal food, mug wealthier folk and dabble in minor profit making crime. Azoth has survived by finding his way into a low levelled ‘guild’.
Our main character is ‘Azoth’, an orphan who has been born into a world completely corrupt and controlled by an organised crime band known as the Sa’kagé. There is rape, there is murder, there is pure evil and treachery – in fact it is a very, very dark series. The first book in the series ‘The Way of the Shadows’ came out in 2008… It is a bold book that to some extent glorifies the work of assassins, justifies the work of prostitutes and paints thieves in at very least a grey fashion. This ‘one month’ wait between each book was almost unheard of and although it was a bold move… it paid off… why? Simple… people read the books within 30 days and wanted to have the next one in their hands instantly… It was in Brent Weeks’s own words “A huge gamble by the publisher’, but it was one that paid off.” When Brent Weeks wrote the Night Angel Trilogy his publishers weren’t prepared to make us wait a year for each book. This allows time for readers to finish a book, have a bit of a change and then re-visit a world about a year later… *** 10% DESCUENTO/RABATT/DISCOUNT PRIMAVERA * 10,80 (reduced from 12,00 ) *** 435 Gramm.It takes a special kind of author to write three books and have them sold consecutively on a monthly basis… Typically a fantasy trilogy will take between three and four years from the first through until the last book is released. Si fracasa, condenará a medio continente si lo consigue, perderá aquello por lo que le merecía la pena vivir. Ahora, para salvar a sus amigos debe lograr lo imposible: asesinar a una diosa. Kylar ya no es el joven aprendiz de asesino, y ha aprendido el elevado precio que hay que pagar por la inmortalidad. Tiene un plan, y si lo ejecuta con éxito, nadie jamás podrá arrebatarle el poder.
En el imperio de Khalidor, ha sido elegido un nuevo gobernante. El opresor ha muerto, sus tropas han sido derrotadas, pero a un coste muy alto: el reino entero ha quedado devastado, y Logan Gyre, el legítimo heredero al trono del país, ha tenido que ceder la corona a una de las nobles que encabezó la causa rebelde para apaciguar los ánimos y no desatar una guerra civil en un momento tan precario.
La rebelión del pueblo de Cenaria contra el rey-dios Garoth Ursuul y el imperio de Khalidor ha triunfado. El asesino perfecto no tiene conciencia, solo una misión. Sinopsis: La tercera entrega y cierre de la trilogía de fantasía épica «El Ángel de la Noche».
