The Coppermind has spoilers for all of Brandon's published works, now including The Sunlit Man. Information about books that have not yet been released, like Stormlight 5, is allowed only on meta-pages for the books themselves. For more details, see our spoiler policy.

This is for the in-universe text by Nohadon. For the book by Brandon Sanderson, see The Way of Kings.

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.
