Wind and Truth

Roshar stands on the precipice of oblivion as Dalinar Kholin's contest of champions against Odium draws near. With only ten days to prepare, the sudden and cunning ascension of Taravangian to Odium's throne throws the world into chaos. Across Roshar, desperate battles rage: Adolin fights in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli navigate the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah defends Thaylen City. The former assassin Szeth, alongside Kaladin, embarks on a mission to purge Shinovar of the Unmade's dark influence, confronting not only his homeland's demons but also the madness of the Herald Ishar. Meanwhile, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain delve into the ancient mysteries surrounding Ba-Ado-Mishram, seeking to understand her role in the enslavement of the singer race and the fateful spren-killing by the ancient Knights Radiant. As Dalinar and Navani search for a crucial advantage in the chaotic Spiritual Realm, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs precariously in the balance, awaiting an explosive and pivotal climax.
