Generally acclaimed for his work completing Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time saga, Brandon Sanderson now begins a grand routine of his own, one every bit as ambitious and immersive. Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of extraordinary power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently they have designed ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees yank in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Metropolitan areas are designed only where in fact the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform standard men into near-invincible warriors. Wars were fought for the coffee lover, and earned by them. One such conflict rages on the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin has been reduced to slavery. In the war that makes no sense, where 10 armies battle separately against a single foe, he battles to save lots of his men and also to fathom the market leaders who consider them expendable. Brightlord Dalinar Kholin codes one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated with an ancient text message called The Method of Kings. Troubled by visions of old times and the Knights Radiant, he has started to suspect his own sanity. Across the sea, an untried young female named Shallan seeks to teach under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she truly is in love with learning, Shallan's motives are less than genuine. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah ideas at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the real reason behind the war.
