The Way of Kings: Book One of the Stormlight Archive (The Stormlight Archive, 1)

The Way of Kings — the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s acclaimed Stormlight Archive — launches an epic saga set in Roshar, a storm-battered world where mystical relics of the long-fallen Knights Radiant still shape history.

As endless wars rage over the magical Shardblades and Shardplate, three lives intertwine: Kaladin, a former soldier turned slave struggling to protect his men; Dalinar Kholin, a noble tormented by visions of ancient glory and madness; and Shallan, a scholar’s apprentice hiding dark motives behind her thirst for knowledge.

Blending war, destiny, and rediscovered legends, Sanderson’s masterpiece explores courage, honor, and the ancient oaths: Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.
