Journey before destination.Īnd return to men the Shards they once bore. Roshar is a world relentlessly blasted by awesome tempests, where emotions take on physical form, and terrible secrets hide deep beneath the rocky landscape. And one of them will destroy us.įrom Brandon Sanderson-who completed Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time-comes The Stormlight Archive, an ambitious new fantasy epic in a unique, richly imagined setting. Surgebinding and Shardwielding can return the magics of ancient days become ours again. The last is the prince, a warlord whose eyes have opened to the ancient past as his thirst for battle wanes. The third is the liar, a young woman who wears a scholar's mantle over the heart of a thief. The second is the assassin, a murderer who weeps as he kills.

The first is the surgeon, forced to forsake healing to fight in the most brutal war of our time. Or was that victory illusory? Did our enemies come to recognize that the harder they fought, the fiercer our resistance? Fire and hammer will forge steel into a weapon, but if you abandon your sword, it eventually rusts away. Victory proved to be the greatest test of all. The world became ours, and yet we lost it. A time when there was still magic in the world and honor in the hearts of men. The age before the Heralds abandoned us and the Knights Radiant turned against us. I long for the days before the Last Desolation.
