Difference between revisions of "Summary:The Way of Kings"

[[Cenn]], a new recruit in [[Brightlord]] [[Amaram]]'s army, is terrified. The first battle of his career as a soldier is about to begin, and he has almost no idea of what to expect. They're fighting against another Alethi army over a minor border dispute. Most of the full-time well-trained soldiers are at the Shattered Plains, fighting a war against the Parshendi, so the leftover squads and new recruits are used to fight unimportant battles like this one.
 
Cenn is transferred to the squad of [[Kaladin]]|Kaladin [[Stormblessed]] at the last minute, for reasons he doesn't understand. He thinks it has something to do with camp politics. He is being guided by a veteran named [[Dallet]], one of the senior members of Kaladin's squad.
 
Kaladin appears, and Cenn is amazed to discover how young he is. He appears to be no older than 19. Kaladin and Dallet discuss tactics for the upcoming battle briefly, and point out a promising hill to make a stand. Then Kaladin asks Dallet to help Cenn, since he won't know any of the squad's signals.
