Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks
(Night Angel, Book 2 of 3)

The action-packed second book in the Night Angel series — an astonishing and epic tale of magic, violence, and revenge from international bestseller Brent Weeks.

Kylar has rejected the assassin's life. In the wake of the Godking's violent coup, both his master and his closest friend are dead. So Kylar is starting over: new city, new companions, new profession. But when he learns that Logan — heir to Cenaria's throne — might still be alive, trapped and in hiding, Kylar faces an impossible choice.

He could give up the way of shadows forever, and find peace with his young family. Or Kylar could succumb to his flair for destruction — the years of brutal training — to save his friend and his country. But that path means losing all he holds precious.
