'''''Words of Radiance''''' is the title for the second book in [[The Stormlight Archive]].{{tor ref|the-title-for-brandon-sandersons-second-stormlight-archive-book-has-been-revealed|Words of Radiance press release|date= Feb 28th, 2013}} It was released on March 4th, 2014.
Meanwhile, at the heart of the [[Shattered Plains]], the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on an desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The consequences for Parshendi and humans alike—indeed, for [[Roshar]] itself—are as dangerous as they are incalculable.
