== Cover Synopsis ==
''There are secrets we have kept for so long. Watching. Sleepless. Eternal. And soon, they will no longer be ours.''
'''''[[Shallan|The One Who Is Three]]''' seeks the captured soul, but does not know it. The imprisoned spren, so long ago forgotten. Can she free her own soul in time to find knowledge? The knowledge that damns all people of Roshar?''
'''''[[Kaladin|The Fallen Soldier]]''' caresses and loves the spear even as it gouges his own flesh. He steps ever forward, ever into darkness, without light. He can bring none with him, but that which he can kindle himself.''
'''''[[Venli|The Broken Sister]]''' sees her mistakes, and thinks she is one herself. She seems so far from her ancestors, but does not realize they carry her upon their shoulders. Toward victory, and toward that most important silence.''
''And '''[[Navani Kholin|the Mother of Machines]]''', most important of them all, dances with liars at a grand ball. She must unmask them, find their hidden truths, and present them to the world. She must admit that the worst lies have been the ones she tells herself.''
''If she does, our secrets will finally become truths instead.''
