The Stormlight Archive Book 1: The Way Of Kings Part
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike.

Widely acclaimed for his work completing Robert Jordan?s Wheel of Time saga, Brandon Sanderson now begins a grand cycle of his own, one every bit as ambitious and immersive.
