Brandon Sanderson

After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of betrayal looms over every move. As new technological discoveries begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. Meanwhile, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with his changing role, and Adolin and Shallan must convince the honorspren to join the cause — or personally face the storm of failure.
