== Synopsis ==
''After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, [[Dalinar Kholin]] and his [[Knights Radiant]] have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war. Neither side has gained an advantage, and the threat of a betrayal by Dalinar's crafty ally [[Taravangian]] looms over every strategic move.''
''Now, as new technological discoveries by [[Navani Kholin]]'s scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation. The arms race that follows will challenge the very core of the Radiant ideals, and potentially reveal the secrets of the [[Urithiru|ancient tower]] that was once the heart of their strength.''
''At the same time that [[Kaladin]] Stormblessed must come to grips with his changing role within the Knights Radiant, his [[Order of Windrunners|Windrunners]] face their own problem: As more and more deadly enemy [[Fused]] awaken to wage war, no more [[honorspren]] are willing to [[Nahel Bond|bond]] with humans to increase the number of Radiants. [[Adolin Kholin|Adolin]] and [[Shallan Davar|Shallan]] must lead the coalition’s envoy to the honorspren stronghold of [[Lasting Integrity]] and either convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god [[Odium]], or personally face the storm of failure.''{{url ref|url=https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0826NKZHR|text=Amazon Blurb|site=Amazon|date=2020-07-26}}
