Título: Night Angel Nemesis
Autor: Brent Weeks
Sinopse: Brent Weeks returns to the New York Times bestselling world of the Night Angel in Night Angel Nemesis, following master assassin Kylar on a new adventure - as the High King Logan Gyre calls on him to save his kingdom and the hope of peace. 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.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Orbit Books oferecem uma imersão em universos que transitam entre o fantástico e a ficção científica, com narrativas que vão do épico ao thriller espacial. A experiência de leitura costuma ser marcada por conflitos intensos, sejam guerras milenares, batalhas contra criaturas míticas ou confrontos em estações espaciais decadentes. O catálogo revela uma preferência por tramas densas, com personagens complexos e mundos detalhados, onde a tensão e o ritmo acelerado se alternam com momentos de reflexão e mistério. Além disso, há espaço para contos e coletâneas que resgatam histórias clássicas do gênero, sugerindo uma atenção tanto ao novo quanto ao legado da ficção especulativa.
