From Brandon Sanderson - the author who complete Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series - comes a richly imagined epic set in a world of dangerous landscapes and formidable secrets. Highprince Dalinar, the power behind the Alethi throne, is masterminding the war against the Parshendi on the Shattered Plains. But leaders across Roshar are being eliminated by the Assassin, and Dalinar has become one of his prime targets. The brilliant but troubled Shallan has a quest of her own, on the Shattered Plains, as she strives to prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilisation-ending Desolation they herald… if she can only find the secrets in time… This volume is the first half of the second book of The Stormlight Archive.
