The prophesied Storm of Storms has struck the world, causing new Devastation and forcing humanity to once again face the ancient enemy - the Voidbringers; their thirst for revenge is fueled by an evil deity. Now the future depends only on Dalinar Kholin, whose battle-weary troops found shelter in the ancient city of Urithiru. But within the walls of the stronghold of the Knights Radiant dark secrets are kept, and the bloody secrets of Dalinar’s own past prevent the other rulers from believing in the nobility of his thoughts. The hour of a new test is near, but first the heroes will have to make many journeys across the expanses of Roshar and survive the battle with the dark side of their own souls.
