Stormlight Archive 4 refers to the untitled fourth book in the The Stormlight Archive.
Development
Brandon began writing Stormlight Archive 4 in January 2019, with publication planned for 2020.[1][2] The first working title was The Song of Changes, though this was eventually changed to The Rhythm of War, also a tentative title.[3][4]
Initially, the book was to feature Eshonai's flashbacks, with Venli taking center stage in the present-day timeline.[5] Eventually, Brandon began to waver on the former, wondering if Venli's flashbacks wouldn't work better for expanding on greater cosmere mysteries.[6] Ultimately, he appears to have decided on mixed flashbacks, with part set from Eshonai's perspective, while the other part set from Venli's.[7]
The present-day story is set to take place approximately one year after the events of Oathbringer.[5] While the title suggests greater focus on singer characters, the remaining protagonists, including Kaladin, Shallan, Dalinar, and Szeth, will also feature prominently.[5] The prologue will be written from the perspective of Navani.[8]
Brandon has mentioned that he is particularly looking forward to writing Wit's epilogue in Stormlight Archive 4.[9]
Readings
Brandon has shared several fragments of Stormlight Archive 4 over the course of writing it, though it must be remembered that those come from the first draft, and as such are subject to change.
- Two versions of a Lirin point-of-view fragments: the first, in which he's walking through town looking for the Herdazian general, and the second, in which he's examining refugees coming to Hearthstone from Herdaz, while searching for the same man.
- A recorded reading of a Venli point-of-view section, which can be listened to here, as Venli is getting ready to receive lady Leshwi in the conquered Kholinar.
- A fragment of the Navani prologue, which can be found here.
Trivia
- Stormlight Archive 4 will include pictures of all the True Spren who form Nahel Bonds save for the Bondsmith spren.[10]
