The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives. Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined. Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable. \u003cb\u003eOther Tor books by Brandon Sanderson\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Cosmere\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e The Stormlight Archive\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Way of Kings\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWords of Radiance\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eEdgedancer \u003c\/i\u003e(Novella) \u003ci\u003eOathbringer\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Mistborn trilogy\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eMistborn: The Final Empire The Well of Ascension The Hero of Ages \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eMistborn: The Wax and Wayne series\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eAlloy of Law Shadows of Self Bands of Mourning\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eCollection\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eArcanum Unbounded\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eOther Cosmere novels\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eElantris\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWarbreaker\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eAlcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Scrivener's Bones\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Knights of Crystallia\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Shattered Lens\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Talent\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Rithmatist series \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Rithmatist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eOther books by Brandon Sanderson\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003cu\u003eThe Reckoners\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eSteelheart\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eFirefight\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCalamity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":50147584311600,"sku":"40bbbz","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50147584344368,"sku":"BDbbbz","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/bbbz-cover.jpg?v=1758143725","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bbbz","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
