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
Azimir,Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City.
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 Radiants 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.
