==The Way of Kings==
''I long for the days before the [[Last Desolation]]
''The age before the [[Herald]]s abandoned us and the [[Knights Radiant]] turned against us. A time when there was still magic in the world and honor in the hearts of men.''
''The world became ours, and we lost it. Nothing, it appears, is more challenging to the souls of men than victory itself.''
''Now there are four whom we watch: '''[[Kaladin|the Surgeon]]''', forced to forsake healing and fight in the most brutal war of our time; '''[[Szeth|the Assassin]]''', who weeps as he kills; '''[[Shallan|the Liar]]''', who wears her scholar's mantle over a thief's heart; and '''[[Dalinar|the Prince]]''', whose eyes open to the ancient past as his thirst for battle wanes.''▼
''Or was that victory an illusion all along? Did our enemies realize that the harder they fought, the stronger we resisted? Perhaps they saw that the heat and the hammer only make for a better grade of sword. But ignore the steel long enough, and it will eventually rust away.''
''One of them may redeem us. One of them will destroy us.''▼
▲''
''The world can change. [[Surgebinding]] and [[Shardwielding]] can return; the magics of ancient days can become ours again. These four people are key.''
''And one of them will destroy us.''{{bws ref|the-stormlight-archive-series#THEWAYOFKINGS}}
