The Way of Kings: The First Book of The Stormlight Archive

The groundbreaking first book of an epic series that has changed the face of fantasy, The Way of Kings begins The Stormlight Archive. Experience the world of Roshar, a realm shaped by uncanny tempests of incredible power where civilization clings to sheltered locations.

Centuries after the fall of the Knights Radiant, their mystical Shardblades and Shardplate remain, coveted items that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Wars are fought and won over these relics, including the conflict raging across the Shattered Plains.

• Kaladin: Reduced to slavery after trading his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his brother, he struggles to lead his men in a senseless war.
• Dalinar Kholin: A Brightlord fascinated by the ancient text, The Way of Kings, who is troubled by visions of the Knights Radiant and doubts his own sanity.
• Shallan: An untried young woman seeking training under the scholar and heretic Jasnah, whose research hints at secrets concerning the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.

The story centers on the ancient oaths that must be spoken again for the Knights Radiant to stand:

• Life before death.
• Strength before weakness.
• Journey before Destination.
• Return to men the Shards they once bore.
