About the Book:

In The Way of Kings Part 2, Brandon Sanderson delves deeper into the mythic and tumultuous world of Roshar, where ancient legends and lost powers still echo through the lives of its inhabitants. According to mythology, mankind once resided in the Tranquiline Halls—Heaven—until the Voidbringers invaded and captured it, casting out both God and men. Banished to Roshar, a storm-ravaged world, humanity faced the relentless onslaught of the Voidbringers ten thousand times.

To aid humanity, the Almighty bestowed upon them powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons known as Shardblades. Guided by ten angelic Heralds and supported by ten orders of knights called Radiants, mankind eventually triumphed over their foes. Or so the legends say.

In the present day, the Shardblades are all that remain of those epic battles, making their wielders nearly invincible on the battlefield. The world remains engulfed in ceaseless war, as kings vie for more Shardblades, each harboring the secret ambition of uniting mankind under a single throne. Amidst this chaos is a young spearman, forced into the army of a Shardbearer and thrust into conflicts he neither understands nor wishes to fight.

As Roshar’s landscape is continually battered by terrifying hurricanes, questions from the past loom large. What truly happened to humanity’s ancestors? Why did the Radiants, once the protectors of mankind, turn against them? And what became of the potent magic they once wielded?

The Way of Kings Part 2 is a gripping continuation of Sanderson’s epic saga, where the answers to ancient mysteries hold the key to the future, and the forgotten oaths of the Knights Radiant might be the world’s last hope.
