This is the second book of ‘The Stomlight Archive’ epic fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson. The first part The Way of Kings left many questions and riddles behind, which this second book will answer.
The Alethi king was assassinated six years ago by the Assassins in White, a hireling of the Parshendi. This was on the very night the treaty between the inscrutable Parshendi and men was celebrated. This murder stood at the beginning of the Vengeance Pact among the Highprinces of Alethkar and the War of Reckoning against the Parhendi.
Now with this second book the Assassins in White are back with all their old powers, murdering all over Roshar. One of the prime targets of the Assasins is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered as the power behind the Alethi throne. The leading role of the Highprince six long years ago in the start of the War of Reckoning is reason enough to get him killed, but the Assassin’s master as other plans with the prince.
Kaladin didn’t get the expected miserable death of a miserable slave, but was given command of the royal bodyguards. This appointment is controversial, because Kaladin is the first with such a role as a low-status “darkeyes.” The new commander must protect the king and Highprince Dalinar from every peril as well as the uncommon threat of the Assassins. With this hard job Kaladil also has to find out about his new powers of a Windrunner and trying to keep them a secret.
Shallan bears a terrible burden. She and her mentor Jasnah are preventing the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secret for this terrible task lies at the Shattered Plains. Arriving there is more difficult than she could ever imagine.
This second book of the series was first delayed due to the fact that Sandserson helped finishing the series The Wheel of Time by writing the final book. Most fantasy readers know Brandon of this final book, but fall in love with his other work when reading more of his many series.
