The highly anticipated explosive finale of the first arc of the Stormlight Archive series, a No. 1 New York Times bestseller. Dalinar Kholin has challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar at stake. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare—and the sudden ascension of the cunning and ruthless Taravangian to the position of Odium has turned everything upside down.
The desperate battle continues simultaneously worldwide—Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli in the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah in the city of Thaylen. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland, Shinovar, of the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth confront his own demons… and must do the same for the mad Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.
At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain try to unravel the mystery surrounding the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and the killing of spren by the first Knights Radiant. Dalinar and Navani search for an advantage against Odium’s champion that can only be found in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere is at stake.
