From Brandon Sanderson - author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War - comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard. Taking place betweenOathbringer and Rhythm of War, this tale gives often-overshadowed characters their own chance to shine.

When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea.

Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri's recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

Industry Reviews

'I jumped in with zero knowledge of The Stormlight Archive and I found Dawnshard a fascinating and completely compelling read.' - Fan-Fi Addict

'Sanderson is an excellent storyteller and this story is fast paced and action packed. Great world building and interesting characters.' Annarellix

'I loved the Stormlight Archive and I loved seeing the side characters get their own little adventure!' - Literary Leisha

'I loved the magic, and Radiant The Lopen's delightful devil-may-care attitude to life. I particularly liked the depiction of Rysn Ftori, shipowner and trader, who lost the use of her legs prior to this book. Sanderson went to great lengths to ensure that he portrayed Rysn's experience sensitively and accurately...It was very refreshing to see such a strong character and her thoughts on the journey.' -Espresso Coco
