Brent Weeks
Brent Weeks, a name synonymous with thrilling epic fantasy, crafts worlds filled with intricate magic, complex characters, and unexpected twists that have captivated readers around the globe. From the release of his debut novel, The Way of Shadows, Weeks has carved out a distinctive niche in the genre, earning a reputation for his fast-paced, emotionally charged storytelling and a willingness to tackle the gray areas of morality and power.
Weeks’s journey into the world of writing was far from straightforward. Born in 1977 in Montana, USA, he didn’t immediately set out to be an author. His early career began with a degree in English and a string of jobs that didn’t quite ignite his passion for writing. But it was during a quiet stretch of time, a mix of frustration and inspiration, that Weeks found his voice. It was then that he began working on the Night Angel Trilogy, which would go on to be his first major success. The trilogy—brimming with assassins, betrayal, and political intrigue—became a breakout hit, introducing readers to a dark and morally ambiguous world where the lines between good and evil often blurred.
