The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.

Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium's place has thrown everything into disarray.

Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide-Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren. And Dalinar and Navani seek an edge against Odium's champion that can be found only in the Spiritual Realm, where memory and possibility combine in chaos. The fate of the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.©2024 Dragonsteel Entertainment LLC Action & Adventure Best of 2024 Dark Fantasy Editors Select Epic Fantasy Genre Fiction Historical War & Military Emotionally Gripping

Critic reviews

At a time when so much in life is a struggle, Sanderson has a rare talent for bringing wonder to the page - and the Wind and Truth stands as a blockbusting testament to a writer who has put the fun back in reading

Sanderson & co. knock it out of the park as usual. Can’t believe I have to wait another 10y for the next Stormlight instalment!

The best narrators for the best fantasy series out there.

A spectacular conclusion to an epic story. Sanderson is a masterful story teller and cements himself at the summit of modern fantasy.

What a Journey!

First I want to emphasise that this is a good book. Twists and turns are guaranteed Sanderson quality. Sadly though, this book is my least favourite Stormlight Archive. It would have benefited from much sterner editing.

I felt like characters didn't stay true to themselves and behaved very similar to each other. F. E. I was annoyed by excessive levity performed by usually stern people. One big letdown was Yasnah, who had been one of my favourite characters, but who wasn't herself in the entire book.

That being said, the ending was great and I'm looking forward to reading the next act. I really want to know what happens to those people.

Not exactly disappointed, but not fully satisfied
