The doors of the Stormlight Archive first opened to us with The Way of Kings. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.

Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status “darkeyes.” Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin’s master has much deeper motives. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. Now the Assassin is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers.

So began the Vengeance Pact among the highprinces of Alethkar and the War of Reckoning against the Parshendi.

Six years ago, the Assassin in White, a hireling of the inscrutable Parshendi, assassinated the Alethi king on the very night a treaty between men and Parshendi was being celebrated.
