The Night Angel trilogy is a fantasy novel series written by Brent Weeks. The story follows the life of Azoth (later Kylar Stern) as he struggles as a guild rat[clarification needed] to become the ultimate wetboy (an assassin with magical talent, such as the ability to muffle sound or to block an attack), but then tries to leave it all behind and finally becomes the avatar of retribution: the Night Angel.
