Words of Radiance: Book Two of the Stormlight Archive (The Stormlight Archive, Book 2)

Words of Radiance — Book Two of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive — continues the sweeping epic begun in The Way of Kings.

Once a slave, Kaladin now commands the royal guard, tasked with protecting King Elhokar and Dalinar Kholin from enemies both mortal and mystical — including the deadly Assassin in White, Szeth, whose mysterious powers defy all defense.

Meanwhile, Shallan Davar, haunted by her past, races to uncover the secrets that could prevent the return of the Voidbringers and the world-ending Desolation. Across the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi make a desperate choice that will alter Roshar forever.

A tale of war, destiny, and rebirth, Words of Radiance deepens Sanderson’s masterful world of honor, power, and ancient oaths.
