The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive. Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray. Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide-Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar. At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Ve světě, kde moře neznamená vodu, ale nekonečné množství kypících, smrtonosných spor, žije jedna zdánlivě obyčejná dívka Lokýnka. Netouží po dobrodružství, uvažuje prakticky a předpokládá, že stráví celý svůj život na pustém ostrově zvaném Skála. Svým naprosto pragmatickým způsobem miluje chlapce Káju, který je však synem místního aristokrata. A právě rozdíl ve společenském postavení a překážky v lásce z něj plynoucí způsobí, že Kája skončí na opačné straně světa v zajetí Čarodějky. Tehdy se všedním životem žijící Lokýnka rozhodne opustit ostrov a vydat se na dlouhou a zakázanou výpravu, jejímž cílem má být Kájova záchrana. Netuší, že při tom změní sebe i svět.

Nemožné se stalo skutečností. Pán Vládce, všemi považovaný za božské ztělesnění, který celé tisíciletí brutálně utiskoval celý svět, byl svržen. Brzy se však ukázalo, že opojení svobodou a pádem totality nebude mít dlouhé trvání. Finální říše se rozpadla. Panovníci všech dominancií usilují o svržení nové vlády a dobytí hlavního města Luthadelu. Tam docházejí potraviny, bují kriminalita a neustálé pokusy připravit krále o život, a za hradbami se shromažďují vojska nejen vládců okolních domimancií, ale i vražedného kolossu, který zůstal jako obrovská ničím neregulovaná ničivá síla po Pánu Vládci... Na Vin a jejích přátelích teď je, aby nejen zachránili Luthadel, ale také aby objevili, co je vlastně Bezednost a jak ji navždy porazit, aby nezničila svět.

Už přes tisíc let padá z oblohy popel a nekvetou květiny. Už přes tisíc let žijí Skaové v nelidských podmínkách a v trvalém strachu pod krutou absolutní vládou nesmrtelného Lorda Vládce. Nadějí na únik z tohoto pekla se stává až Kelsier, který v sobě objeví schopnost allomancie, příslušející pouze mistbornům, schopnost „spalovat" kovy a získávat tím krátkodobě mimořádné schopnosti - sílu, předvídavost, možnost ovlivňovat druhé. Obklopen elitou podsvětí chystá útok proti Lordu Vládci. Ten by však nebyl uskutečnitelný, kdyby se Kelsier náhodou nesetkal s dívkou jménem Vin, sirotkem z ulice, zvyklým nečekat od lidí nic než zradu. Odhalí u ní také mimořádné schopnosti mistbornů a naučí ji využívat je. Prostřednictvím Vin infiltruje okolí Lorda Vládce. Kelsierův plán se ovšem začíná vyvíjet nečekaným směrem a míří k tragickému vyústění... Příběh je plný napětí, intrik, překážek, nečekaných zvratů i vtipu.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction. Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she's had about her own strange Cytonic gifts. The Superiority didn't stop in it's fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa's team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it's only a matter of time until humanity - and the rest of the galaxy - falls. Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself - and her friends - in the process. The final book in the Skyward series will free humanity, or see it fall forever.

A man awakes in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the "real world" should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive?
