As the War of Reckoning rages on, Kaladin struggles to save his men and himself. Hiding in war-torn Alethkar, he uncovers a plot that could change the course of the conflict—and probably civilization itself. With Dalinar’s daughter Elhokar firmly back in power, scenarii for peace seem increasingly unlikely. But neither Roshar nor Brandon Sanderson fans will want to miss what happens next in this wildly inventive epic fantasy series!
