The Way of Kings is an old book read by the late King Gavilar then by his brother Dalinar Kholin.

Contents

The book is written as a narrative of the life of Nohadon, an ancient king, as he acts as a ruler should, with honor and dignity. The narrator always strives to lead by example, despite the objections of those close to him. In this manner the narrator gains the respect and loyalty of his followers.

Author

Written by Nohadon, it is revealed during the events of The Way of Kings that rather than being an account of his life, Nohadon wrote the book after he had already risen to power. Thus, while the book does exemplify the virtues of a ruler, it is meant to act as an allegory rather than a method by which to inspire others.
