Contrary to his enemies’ expectations, Kaladin the Blessed did not die as a slave during the storm. Instead, he led his own personal guard of the great prince—and now the responsibility to protect the very king rests on his shoulders. In the White, the killer is sowing death anew across Roshar, step by step drawing nearer to his main goal—Dalinar Kholin.
Shallan Davar sets the most ambitious goal of all: to prevent the return of the Voidbringers, which must be followed by the death of the entire world.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Shattered Plains, the parshendi—tired of years of war—make a fateful choice and turn for help to the very power their ancestors once fled.
Will the heroes survive the new trials? Will they become new Radiant Knights?
Shadows gather over Roshar: only sixty-two days remain until the end of the world.
