Contrary to the hopes of his enemies, Kaladin, the Blessed by the Storm, did not rot in slavery: he became commander of the supreme prince’s personal guard, and now the safety of the king himself rests upon him. Meanwhile, the White Assassin leaves behind a trail of corpses across Roshar, drawing ever closer to his main target—Dalinar Kholin.
Shallan Davar dares to attempt, perhaps, the impossible: to stop the return of the Voidbringers, for their arrival spells the world’s inevitable doom. And at the very heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi—worn down by the long war—make a fateful decision and call for the aid of the very power their ancestors once fled.
Will the heroes withstand the new blows of fate? Are they destined to become the new Radiant Knights?
Darkness gathers over Roshar: the end of the world is only sixty-two days away.
