Oathbringer

Enter the explosive climax of Brandon Sanderson's #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive, a breathtaking culmination to the series' first arc. With over 10 million copies sold, this epic fantasy masterpiece plunges Roshar into a desperate battle for its very survival.

Dalinar Kholin's challenge to the malevolent god Odium has set the stage for a contest of champions, where the fate of nations hangs in the balance. The Knights Radiant, now under immense pressure, have only ten days to prepare, but the cunning Taravangian's unexpected rise to power in Odium's stead threatens to shatter their fragile hopes.

As war erupts across the globe—from Adolin's fight in Azir to Sigzil and Venli's stand at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah's defense of Thaylenah—the stakes have never been higher. Szeth, the former assassin, embarks on a perilous journey to redeem his homeland of Shinovar, accompanied by Kaladin, who must confront not only the darkness plaguing Szeth but also the madness consuming the Herald Ishar.

Meanwhile, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain delve into the mysteries surrounding the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram, uncovering her sinister role in the enslavement of the singer race and the ancient Knights Radiant's tragic betrayal of their spren. And in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility collide, Dalinar and Navani seek a desperate advantage against Odium's champion.

With the Cosmere itself on the precipice, will the Knights Radiant rise to meet their destiny, or will Roshar fall into eternal darkness?

On Roshar, a world sculpted by stone and perpetual storms, civilization huddles for shelter. Here, tempests of immense power have shaped the very landscape and the course of history. The enigmatic Knights Radiant, legendary warriors of old, have faded into memory, leaving behind only their Shardblades and Shardplate—artifacts of immense power that can transform ordinary individuals into near-invincible forces.

As kingdoms clash over these coveted Shards on the Shattered Plains, three lives intertwine: Kaladin, a former medical apprentice now branded a slave, fights to protect those under his charge in a war he doesn't understand. Dalinar Kholin, a highlord haunted by visions and the wisdom of an ancient text, The Way of Kings, questions his sanity and seeks a path to unity. And Shallan, a young woman driven by secrets, embarks on a perilous journey to master her burgeoning powers and secure her family's future.

From Brandon Sanderson, the master storyteller who completed Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, comes The Way of Kings, the monumental first book in the Stormlight Archive. Prepare to be swept away by an epic saga of courage, betrayal, and the enduring power of hope in a world teetering on the brink of destruction.

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

The Fellowship has sundered. As darkness gathers, the War of the Ring intensifies, splitting our heroes' paths and testing the limits of their courage.

Frodo and Sam, guided by the treacherous Gollum, continue their perilous journey towards Mordor, the only place where the One Ring can be unmade. Every step brings them closer to the heart of Sauron's realm and deeper into a web of deceit and danger.

Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli pursue the Orcs who have captured Merry and Pippin, leading them to the war-torn kingdom of Rohan. Here, they become embroiled in a desperate battle against the forces of Saruman, the corrupted wizard whose power threatens to engulf Middle-earth.

As armies clash and alliances are forged, the fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance. "The Two Towers" plunges into a world of epic conflict, where hope and despair collide, and the strength of the human spirit is tested against the overwhelming power of darkness.

The world of Roshar is on the brink. As Highprince Dalinar Kholin leads the Alethi armies into a brutal war against the Parshendi on the Shattered Plains, a sinister Assassin stalks the globe, leaving a trail of murdered rulers in his wake. His prime target? Dalinar himself.

Against this backdrop of war and intrigue, three figures grapple with their destinies: Kaladin, the former slave who now commands the royal bodyguards, must master his burgeoning powers to protect the king while battling prejudice and the secrets of his past. Shallan Davar, haunted by a broken past, seeks ancient knowledge in the hopes of preventing the return of the Voidbringers, a cataclysmic event that could destroy all of civilization. And at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi face extinction and make a desperate gamble with the very powers they once sought to escape.

In this second volume of the Stormlight Archive, alliances will be tested, secrets revealed, and the fate of Roshar hangs in the balance.
