The Stormlight Archive saga continues in Rhythm of War, the eagerly awaited sequel to Brandon Sanderson's #1 New York Times bestselling Oathbringer, from an epic fantasy writer at the top of his game.
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 a betrayal by Dalinar’s crafty ally Taravangian looms over every strategic move.
Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin’s scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals, and potentially reveal the secrets of the ancient tower that was once the heart of their strength.
At the same time that Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with his changing role within the Knights Radiant, his Windrunners face their own problem: As more and more deadly enemy Fused awaken to wage war, no more honorspren are willing to bond with humans to increase the number of Radiants. Adolin and Shallan must lead the coalition’s envoy to the honorspren stronghold of Lasting Integrity and either convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god Odium, or personally face the storm of failure.
Years ago he had comrades in arms and a cause to believe in, but now the man who calls himself Nomad knows only a life on the run. Forced to hop from world to world in the Cosmere whenever the relentless Night Brigade gets too close, Nomad lands on a new planet and is instantly caught up in the struggle between a tyrant and the rebels who want only to escape being turned into mindless slaves-all under the constant threat of a sunrise whose heat will melt the very stones. Unable to understand the language, can he navigate the conflict and gain enough power to leap offworld before his mind or body pay the ultimate price?
Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military
slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal
bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status "darkeyes." Now
he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as
well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while
secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are
somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl. The Assassin, Szeth, is
active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using
his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all
pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely
considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in
the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has
much deeper motives. Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a
parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to
acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the
return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending
Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at
the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult
than she could have imagined. Meanwhile, at the heart of the
Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision.
Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever
shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk
everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces
they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans
alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are
incalculable. The story continues in Words of Radiance: Part Two.
Years ago he had comrades in arms and a cause to believe in, but
now the man who calls himself Nomad knows only a life on the run.
Forced to hop from world to world in the Cosmere whenever the
relentless Night Brigade gets too close, Nomad lands on a new

navigate the conflict and gain enough power to leap offworld before
his mind or body pay the ultimate price? From his record-breaking
Kickstarter, The Sunlit Man is one of four incredible new novels by
one of the world's biggest fantasy writers. ****** Praise for

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson
comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel
beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.
Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space
between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face
with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she's
had about her own strange Cytonic gifts. The Superiority didn't
stop in it's fight for galactic dominance while she was gone,
though. Spensa's team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off,
and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it's only a
matter of time until humanity - and the rest of the galaxy - falls.
Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while
in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever
could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she
willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself - and her
friends - in the process. The final book in the Skyward series will
free humanity, or see it fall forever.

Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn
world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with THE ALLOY OF
LAW, comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in THE LOST METAL.
For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium
Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set - with his late
uncle and his sister among their leaders - since they started
kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines.
When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner, Wayne, find stockpiled
weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead.
Conflict between the capital, Elendel, and the Outer Cities only
favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate
- whose corruption Wax and his wife, Steris, have sought to expose
- and Bilming is even more entangled. After Wax discovers a new
type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and
realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra
serving Scadrial's god, Harmony, reveals that Bilming has fallen
under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set.
And Trell isn't the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere -
Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim
their goal is to protect Scadrial...at any cost. Wax must choose
whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again
become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one
steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its
millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.
#1 New York Times Bestselling author Brandon Sanderson meshes Jason
Bourne, epic fantasy, and time travel together in a standalone
adventure where an amnesiac wizard's only hope of survival in
medieval England lies in recovering his missing memories. A man
awakes in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no
memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased
by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in
regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and
perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help
from the "real world" should have been a guidebook entitled The
Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his
copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save
provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time
to survive? ****** Praise for Brandon Sanderson "Epic in every

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson
comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel
beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.
Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space
between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face
with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she's
had about her own strange Cytonic gifts. The Superiority didn't
stop in it's fight for galactic dominance while she was gone,
though. Spensa's team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off,
and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it's only a
matter of time until humanity - and the rest of the galaxy - falls.
Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while
in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever
could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she
willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself - and her
friends - in the process. The final book in the Skyward series will
free humanity, or see it fall forever.
