"I long for the days before the last era of destruction, before the heralds abandoned us and the Knights of Light turned against us. When there was still magic in the world and honor in the hearts of men. In the end, the greatest test was not war, but victory. Did our enemies see that the harder they fought, the fiercer our resistance would be? Fire and hammer forge the sword, but time and neglect leave it to rust. So we gained the world, but lost it. Now we watch for four people: the surgeon who was forced to give up healing to fight in the most brutal war of our time; the assassin who weeps as he kills; the liar who wears the cloak of a scholar over the heart of a thief; and the prince whose eyes are opened to the ancient past, even as his thirst for battle wanes. The world can change; the magic of old can return to us again. These four are the key. One of them may redeem us, and one of them will destroy us." From writer Brandon Sanderson—who completed Robert Jordan—With the Storm Chronicles series, an ambitious new epic in a unique, fantasy-rich setting. Roshar is a world where fierce storms rage relentlessly, where tempests take physical form, and terrible secrets lurk deep within the rocky landscape. Say once more the sacred oath: life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination. And return the abysses to the men who once bore them. The Knights of Light must rise again!
