The Way of Kings Book One of the Stormlight Archive

Brandon Sanderson · 2010

<p><b>From #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, <i>The Way of Kings</i>, Book One of the Stormlight Archive begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion.</b></p><p>Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter.</p><p>It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.</p><p>One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable.</p><p>Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called <i>The Way of Kings</i>. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity.</p><p>Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war.</p><p>The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, <i>The Way of Kings</i> is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making.</p><p>Speak again the ancient oaths:</p><p><b>Life before death.</b><br><b></b><b>Strength before weakness.</b><br><b></b><b>Journey before Destination.</b><br><b></b><br><b></b>and return to men the Shards they once bore.</p><p>The Knights Radiant must stand again.</p><p><b>Other Tor books by Brandon Sanderson</b></p><p> <b>The Cosmere</b><br> <b></b><br><b> The Stormlight Archive</b><br> <i>The Way of Kings</i><br> <i>Words of Radiance</i><br> <i>Edgedancer </i>(Novella)<br> <i>Oathbringer</i> (forthcoming)<b></b><br><b> </b><br><b> The Mistborn trilogy</b><br> <i>Mistborn: The Final Empire</i><br><i> The Well of Ascension</i><br><i> The Hero of Ages</i><br><i> </i><br><i> </i><b>Mistborn: The Wax and Wayne series</b><br> <i>Alloy of Law</i><br><i> Shadows of Self</i><br><i> Bands of Mourning</i></p><p> <b>Collection</b><br> <i>Arcanum Unbounded</i></p><p> <b>Other Cosmere novels</b><br> <i>Elantris</i><br> <i>Warbreaker</i></p><p> <b>The Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series</b><br> <i>Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians</i><br> <i>The Scrivener's Bones</i><br> <i>The Knights of Crystallia</i><br> <i>The Shattered Lens</i><br> <i>The Dark Talent</i></p><p> <b>The Rithmatist series</b><br><b> </b><i>The Rithmatist</i></p><p> <b>Other books by Brandon Sanderson</b><br><b></b><br><b> The Reckoners</b><br> <i>Steelheart</i><br> <i>Firefight</i><br> <i>Calamity</i></p>

Spin the Dawn

Elizabeth Lim · 2019

"Looking for your next big YA fantasy series? We've got our eye on this stylist blockbuster." --Entertainment Weekly Project Runway meets Mulan in this sweeping fantasy about a young girl who poses as a boy to compete for the role of imperial tailor and embarks on an impossible journey to sew three magic dresses, from the sun, the moon, and the stars. Maia Tamarin dreams of becoming the greatest tailor in the land, but as a girl, the best she can hope for is to marry well. When a royal messenger summons her ailing father, once a tailor of renown, to court, Maia poses as a boy and takes his place. She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered, but she'll take that risk to achieve her dream and save her family from ruin. There's just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailors vying for the job.      Backstabbing and lies run rampant as the tailors compete in challenges to prove their artistry and skill. Maia's task is further complicated when she draws the attention of the court magician, Edan, whose piercing eyes seem to see straight through her disguise.      And nothing could have prepared her for the final challenge: to sew three magic gowns for the emperor's reluctant bride-to-be, from the laughter of the sun, the tears of the moon, and the blood of stars. With this impossible task before her, she embarks on a journey to the far reaches of the kingdom, seeking the sun, the moon, and the stars, and finding more than she ever could have imagined.      Steeped in Chinese culture, sizzling with forbidden romance, and shimmering with magic, this young adult fantasy is pitch-perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas or Renée Ahdieh. "Spin the Dawn is proof that casting a wider net not only gives us a fresh story that feels unlike everything else on the shelves beside it but also allows for richer and more nuanced storytelling." —NPR “All the cutthroat competition of a runway fashion reality show and the thrilling exploits of an epic quest… a stunning tapestry of adventure." —The Washington Post "What an amazing creation! Every time I thought I knew where it was going, I was wrong. This is a white-knuckle read." --Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Tempests and Slaughter

Ma la sua esistenza viene sconvolta quando la donna si ammala gravemente. Nel disperato tentativo di aiutarla, Alma scopre un indizio sull’identità di suo padre e, speranzosa e impaurita, gli invia un messaggio. Ma la realtà si rivela più crudele di quanto potesse immaginare. Alma scopre di essere una figlia illegittima della Casata Avera, una delle quattro nobili famiglie al servizio degli dèi, e che suo padre è un tramite della Bestia Maligna, il più terrificante tra loro, simbolo vivente di morte e distruzione.</p> <p>Per salvare la madre, Alma accetta un patto straziante, legandosi per sempre alla Casata degli Avera e alla Bestia. Ma ormai è tardi e il destino è scritto. La ragazza si ritrova così prigioniera nella maestosa ma opprimente dimora degli Avera, disprezzata dai parenti e ridotta a essere solo una pedina nei giochi di potere del padre.</p> <p>L’unica cosa a tenerla in vita è il desiderio di vendetta. E insieme a quel desiderio, cresce anche il legame inquietante con il dio. Sempre al suo fianco come un incubo, è un’entità ultraterrena che assume le sembianze di un affascinante principe dai capelli d’argento e gli occhi di stelle, visibile solo a lei. Le promette rivoluzione e cambiamento, convincendola che il suo destino è ribaltare l’ordine crudele che governa il loro mondo. Grazie alle parole di questa divinità tanto affascinante quanto terrificante, Alma pianifica un pericoloso viaggio per distruggere la Casata che le ha portato via tutto. Intenso, coinvolgente e meravigliosamente accompagnato dalle illustrazioni dell’autrice, <i>House of the Beast </i>si distingue per i suoi misteriosi rituali sacri, combattimenti carichi di tensione e una tormentata storia d’amore. È un racconto di vendetta, forza d’animo e di un amore che riesce a illuminare anche l’oscurità più profonda.<br></p> <p>#HORRORMANTASY #TOXICRELATIONSHIP #GOTHICVIBES #MORALLYGREY #SECRETS #EMOTIONALSCARS #REVENGE</p>

Tricia Levenseller · 2018

<p><b>A 17-year-old pirate captain intentionally allows herself to get captured by enemy pirates in this thrilling high seas tale.</b><br><br><i><b>There will be plenty of time for me to beat him soundly once I've gotten what I came for. <br></b></i><br>Sent on a mission to retrieve an ancient hidden map—the key to a legendary treasure trove—seventeen-year-old pirate captain Alosa deliberately allows herself to be captured by her enemies, giving her the perfect opportunity to search their ship.

But not to worry, for Alosa has a few tricks up her sleeve, and no lone pirate can stop the Daughter of the Pirate King. <br><br>In <i>Daughter of the Pirate King</i>, debut author Tricia Levenseller blends action, adventure, romance, and a little bit of magic into a gripping tale on the high seas. <br><br><b>And don't miss the sequel, <i>Daughter of the Siren Queen</i>!<br></b><br><b>Praise for <i>Daughter of the Pirate King</i></b>:<br><br>"<b>Readers should rejoice, because we now have a lady Jack Sparrow on our hands! </b><i>Daughter of the Pirate King</i> kidnapped my interest from the first chapter and never let it go!
