Oathbringer

Brandon Sanderson – the modern master of fantasy and a legend of the genre – returns to The Stormlight Archive with book three: Oathbringer. This thrilling fantasy adventure is full of awe-inspiring magic, breathtaking battles and captivating mystery.

The Alethi armies commanded by Dalinar Kholin have won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: the enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, and now its destruction sweeps the land. Its passing is both terrible beyond belief, and has also awakened the once peaceful and subservient Parshmen to the true horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans.

Meanwhile, far from the chaos of battle, a deeper mystery is being uncovered. Shallan Davar is in the tower city of Urithuru, high in the mountains. There are wonders in the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and she intends to unearth the dark secrets lurking in its depths.

While the war worsens and as Shallan continues her quest, Dalinar comes to realize that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar is far too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put Dalinar’s blood-soaked past aside and stand together – and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past – even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not avert the end of civilization.

For humanity faces a terrible threat, and a new Desolation: the Voidbringers, a foe whose numbers are as great as their thirst for vengeance.

From the bestselling author who completed Robert Jordan’s epic Wheel of Time series comes the third instalment in the most ambitious fantasy saga in the genre. Oathbringer matches anything else in modern fantasy for epic scope, thrilling imagination, superb characters and sheer addictiveness.
