which is illuminated by the sunlight

Author Name: Brandon Sanderson

Years ago, he had comrades in arms and a cause he believed in, but now, the man who calls himself Nomad knows nothing but a life on the run.
Forced to jump from world to world within the Cosmir universe, pursued by the ruthless Secret of the Night, Nomad's story begins when he lands on a new planet and immediately finds himself caught in the middle of a conflict between a tyrant and rebels who only want to escape being enslaved. All this is under the constant threat of a rising sun whose heat will melt the stones.
But he is unable to understand their language!
Can he continue the struggle, and gain enough strength to leap out of the world, before his body or mind pays the ultimate price?
