'I loved this book. What else is there to say?' Patrick Rothfuss
According to mythology mankind used to live in The Tranquiline
Halls. Heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured
heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world
of storms. And the Voidbringers followed... They came against man
ten thousand times. To help them cope, the Almighty gave men
powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, known as Shardblades.
Led by ten angelic Heralds and ten orders of knights known as
Radiants, mankind finally won. Or so the legends say. Today, the
only remnants of those supposed battles are the Shardblades, the
possession of which makes a man nearly invincible on the
battlefield. The entire world is at war with itself - and has been
for centuries since the Radiants turned against mankind. Kings
strive to win more Shardblades, each secretly wishing to be the one
who will finally unite all of mankind under a single throne. On a
world scoured down to the rock by terrifying hurricanes that blow
through every few day a young spearman forced into the army of a
Shardbearer, led to war against an enemy he doesn't understand and
doesn't really want to fight. What happened deep in mankind's past?
Why did the Radiants turn against mankind, and what happened to the
magic they used to wield? Readers absolutely love The Way of Kings:
