A few individuals who die in glory return as gods, with the power of thousands of Breath, but no memory of their mortal lives—and are enthroned in the Court of Gods in Hallandren’s capital. To Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris, the abuse of Breath and the claim of the Returned to be gods are repugnant blasphemy. But with one princess wed to the God King of their nation’s enemies in a bid for peace, the other finds she must rely on Breath-using mercenaries to try to rescue her sister from her monstrous husband.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLightsong the Bold, a lesser god who doubts his own religion, starts investigating mysterious murders in the Court of Gods and uncovers haunting clues to his own forgotten past. He is one of four gods who controls the army of Awakened Lifeless soldiers, and one faction is inciting an invasion of Idris despite the marriage treaty. Vasher—wielder of the sapient sword Nightblood—works behind the scenes against the declaration of war, but Lightsong’s visions of bloodshed prophesy its inevitability. Can the new queen, unaware of her sister’s imminent rescue attempt, persuade Lightsong and also somehow get through to the aloof God King—who she has been forbidden to speak to or even look in the eyes—before her homeland is destroyed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther Tor books by Brandon Sanderson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Cosmere\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Stormlight Archive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Way of Kings\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWords of Radiance\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEdgedancer \u003c\/i\u003e(Novella)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOathbringer\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Mistborn trilogy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMistborn: The Final Empire\u003cbr\u003eThe Well of Ascension\u003cbr\u003eThe Hero of Ages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eMistborn: The Wax and Wayne series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlloy of Law\u003cbr\u003eShadows of Self\u003cbr\u003eBands of Mourning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCollection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eArcanum Unbounded\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther Cosmere novels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eElantris\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWarbreaker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Scrivener's Bones\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Knights of Crystallia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Shattered Lens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dark Talent\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Rithmatist series\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rithmatist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther books by Brandon Sanderson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Reckoners\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSteelheart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFirefight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCalamity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Not only has Sanderson drawn a freshly imagined world and its society, he has also given us a plot full of unexpected twists and turns. . . .
