Epic, gripping, visually stunning - the grand continuation of the Stormlight Archives. They are called the Shardblades - immense swords whose magical power can cut through any material and grant their wielders superhuman strength. But those who listen closely can discover the secret of an entire world in the whispers of the blades. The peoples of Roshar face the greatest threat in thousands of years. A new desolation looms, threatening the complete destruction of the entire continent by a massive magical storm. This storm has been unleashed by the Parshendi, one of the races that has long been oppressed and enslaved by all others. Now they have awakened and seek to throw off their chains. They are already gathering into a great army to sweep across all of Roshar in the wake of the storm and take revenge for their millennia of suffering.
