|
''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.
''There are four whom we watch. The first is [[Kaladin|the surgeon]], forced to put aside healing to become a soldier in the most [[War of Reckoning|brutal war of our time]]. The second is [[Szeth|the assassin]], a murderer who weeps as he kills. The third is [[Shallan Davar|the liar]], a young woman who wears a scholar's mantle over the heart of a thief. The last is [[Dalinar Kholin|the highprince]], a warlord whose eyes have opened to the past as his thirst for battle wanes.
''The world can change. [[Surgebinding]] and [[Shardbearer|Shardwielding]] can return; the magics of ancient days can become ours again. These four people are key.
''One of them may redeem us.
