Logan Gyre is king of Cenaria, a country under siege, with a threadbare army and little hope. He has one chance - a desperate gamble, but one that could destroy his kingdom.
In the north, the new Godking has a plan. If it comes to fruition, no one will have the power to stop him.
Kylar Stern has no choice. To save his friends-and perhaps his enemies-he must accomplish the impossible: assassinate a goddess.
Beyond the Shadows is the action-packed conclusion to the Night Angel Trilogy.
Brent Weeks was born and raised in Montana. After getting his paper keys from HillsdaleCollege, Brent had brief stints walking the earth like Caine from Kung Fu, tending bar, and corrupting the youth. (Not at the same time.) He started writing on bar napkins, then on lesson plans, then full time. Eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent lives in Oregon with his wife, Kristi. He doesn't own cats or wear a ponytail.

November 16, 2009: I have to admit when i picked up the first book i was a bit skeptical. Judging by the cover and the title, i though it would be a story of an assassin and his killing spree. I was about to call it quits after the first couple of pages. I am glad that i continued to read what Weeks had to offer. A compelling story with many twists, unique writing style and unforgetable characters. It's intersting on how all the subplots came together in the end. I'm hoping Weeks doesn't forget about all these characters and comes back with another great story.

September 21, 2009: Beyond the Shadows is a thrilling conclusion to the Night Angel Trilogy. Putting the characters aside, the plot does indeed take the main role, as every loose end in the previous two books is tied. Everything comes together with a fantastic battle and a twists that you do not see coming.
The lack of character development in this book is not a bad thing, as the reader should already be familiar with the characters by this point in the story. The biggest development was that of the relationships between all the characters.My only complaint was that the actual end of the book, after the battle is slightly sappy (not a terrible thing, just was oddly out of place in this series) and seemed slightly rushed.It does leave the story open for sequels, and I hope Brent Weeks revisits these characters for more of their adventures. I will be there to read them all.
