They told David it was impossible - that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs. Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David's willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic - Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

Poslední bitva vypukla. Zámky na věznici Temného se rozpadají. Samotný vzor se rozvolňuje a armády Stínu se začaly valit z Morny. Nad třetím věkem začalo zapadat slunce. Perrina Aybaru nyní pronásledují přízraky z minulosti: bělokabátníci, zabíječ vlků a odpovědnost vůdce. A celou dobu mu neviditelný nepřítel utahuje smyčku kolem krku. Aby přežil, musí hledat odpovědi v Tel'aran'rhiodu a - konečně - najít způsob, jak ovládnout vlka ve svém nitru, jinak se v něm navždy ztratí. Matrim Cauthon se mezitím připravuje na nejtěžší výzvu, které kdy v životě čelil. Tvorové za kamennými průchody - Aelfinnové a Eelfinnové - jej zmátli, vysmívali se mu, pověsili ho a do paměti mu nacpali úryvky životů jiných mužů. Doufal, že jeho poslední střet s nimi vše ukončí, ale kolo tká, jak si kolo přeje. Přichází chvíle, kdy bude opět muset tančit s hady a liškami a hrát hru, kterou nelze vyhrát. Věž Gendžei čeká a její tajemství odhalí osud dávno ztraceného přítele. Dovie'andi se tovja sagain. Je čas hodit kostky.

Kezdetét vette az Utolsó Csata. Repedeznek a Sötét Nagyúr börtönét lezáró pecsétek. Bomlani kezdett a Minta, az Árnyék seregei pedig özönvízként megindultak a Fertőből. Beköszöntött a harmadik kor alkonya. Perrin Aybarát a múlt árnyai - a farkasok Mészárosa, a fehérköpenyek - üldözik, és vállára nehezedik a vezérség teljes súlya. Miközben az árnyak ellen küzd, egy láthatatlan ellenség egyre szorosabbra húzza a hurkot a nyaka körül. Csak akkor szállhat szembe vele, ha Tel'aran'rhiodban megtalálja a válaszokat. X# Közben Matrim Cauthon is elindul, hogy végrehajtsa élete legnehezebb küldetését. A kő boltívek mögötti birodalom teremtményei - az aelfinnek és az eelfinnek - egyszer már összezavarták, kigúnyolták, végül pedig fel is akasztották. De ő reméli, hogy még egyszer, utoljára összecsapva velük helyrehozhatja a dolgait. A Kerék azonban sző, és a Minta jő. Végig kell játszania a megnyerhetetlen játékot, mert a Ghenjei-torony fontos titkot rejt: odabent kiderül, hogy mi történt egy rég elveszett barátjával. Változik a Minta. Közel a vég. Dovie'andi se tovya sagain - Ideje dobni a kockákkal. Robert Jordan világhírű sorozatának utolsó előtti kötetében drámai és megrázó módon folytatódnak a hősök kalandjai. Jordan 2007-ben hunyt el; a sorozat utolsó három regényét Brandon Sanderson azokra a feljegyzésekre alapozva írta meg, amelyet az Idő Kereke sorozat megalkotója hagyott hátra.

From the bestselling author who completed Robert Jordan's epic Wheel of Time series comes a new, original creation that matches anything else in modern fantasy for epic scope, thrilling imagination, superb characters and sheer addictiveness. In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive series, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe whose numbers are as great as their thirst for vengeance. The Alethi armies commanded by Dalinar Kholin won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, and now its destruction sweeps the world and its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the true horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that their newly kindled anger may be wholly justified. Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths the dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put Dalinar's blood-soaked past aside and stand together - and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past - even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not avert the end of civilization.
