The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive--the iconic epic fantasy masterpiece that has sold more than 10 million copies, from acclaimed bestselling author Brandon Sanderson.Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare--and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray. Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide--Adolin in Azir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah in Thaylenah. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar. At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiant killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.Other Tor books by Brandon Sanderson The Cosmere The Stormlight Archive  The Way of Kings  Words of Radiance  Edgedancer (novella)  Oathbringer  Dawnshard (novella)  Rhythm of War The Mistborn Saga The Original Trilogy  Mistborn  The Well of Ascension  The Hero of Ages Wax & Wayne  The Alloy of Law  Shadows of Self  The Bands of Mourning  The Lost MetalOther Cosmere novels  Elantris  Warbreaker  Tress of the Emerald Sea  Yumi and the Nightmare Painter  The Sunlit Man Collection  Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians  Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians  The Scrivener's Bones  The Knights of Crystallia  The Shattered Lens  The Dark Talent  Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians (with Janci Patterson) Other novels  The Rithmatist  Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds  The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England Other books by Brandon Sanderson The Reckoners  Steelheart  Firefight  Calamity  Lux (with Steven Michael Bohls) Skyward  Skyward  Starsight  Cytonic  Skyward Flight (with Janci Patterson)  Defiant
