Could this order of warriors still exist? Stories of the Knights Radiant are swirling, and rumours of their all-powerful weapons and armour - the Shardblades and Shardplates - are coming to light.

The Way of Kings is the first title in the book series and introduces listeners to the inhospitable world of Roshar.Ī seemingly pointless war rages on, fueled by years of fighting that have lost all meaning, but just as life seems to be getting truly hopeless for Kaladin of the shattered plains, whispers of an ancient weapon are heard.

Full of adventure, wonder, and otherworldly characters, it is an epic fantasy series that blends science fiction post-apocalyptic worlds with myths, heavenly beings, and great warrior troops. The Stormlight Archive is an imaginative series by best-selling author Brandon Sanderson. There is a shadow of a past - more grand and wonderful than the people dare to dream, that just might be raising its head again. And yet, a whisper has been heard that all hope may not be lost. The land is barren, the storms make life nearly unbearable, and slavery is the way of life for most citizens. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.War rages all around and has done for years - but no one really remembers the reasons they are fighting anymore. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani’s quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. Now Rysn’s pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. Years ago, shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a stormlight-ingesting larkin, a species once thought extinct. Knights who fly too near find their magic suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island of Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn’t fallen into enemy hands. Discover the stories of often-overshadowed characters: See more of Lopen, the Windrunner, Rysn Ftori and Chiri-Chiri the last larkin.
