The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks

Description: The perfect killer has no friends. Only targets.

For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art. And he is the city’s most accomplished
artist, his talents required from alleyway to courtly boudoir.

For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a
guild rat, he’s grown up in the slums, and learned the hard way to judge people
quickly - and to take risks. Risks like apprenticing himself to Durzo Blint.

But to be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new
identity and name. As Kylar Stern, he must learn to navigate the assassins’ world
of dangerous politics and strange magics - and cultivate a flair for death.
