The Two Towers

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.

The secrets at Basgiath run deeper and are more deadly than Violet ever imagined. With alliances shifting, betrayals lurking around every corner, and the fate of Navarre hanging in the balance, Violet must decide who to trust. But time is running out, and even dragon fire might not be enough to save them all.

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.

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