From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, this tale follows two princess sisters, their impending marriage to the God King, a reluctant lesser god, and an immortal seeking redemption for past mistakes. In their world, those who die heroically ascend as gods, residing in a pantheon in Hallandren's capital. The unique BioChromatic magic relies on an essence called breath, collected one unit at a time from individuals. By harnessing breath and manipulating the color in everyday objects, characters can perform remarkable feats. To navigate the challenges ahead, Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris, must rely on substantial amounts of breath alongside Susebron the God King, Lightsong the hesitant god of bravery, and the enigmatic Vasher, known as the Warbreaker. This intricate narrative weaves together themes of power, duty, and the quest for identity in a vividly imagined world. Other works by Sanderson include titles in The Cosmere, The Stormlight Archive, and the Mistborn series, as well as standalone novels and series like Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians and The Rithmatist.
