It is a book on the [[Unmade]], and [[Shallan]] says that the book wasn't received well.{{book ref |sa3 |77}} It is a new book, and mentions [[Jasnah]] at least once, to disagree with some of her work and questionings.{{epigraph ref|sa3|93}} This book is not in many bookstores, and the few that had it in [[Kholinar]] were stolen.{{book ref |sa3 |73}} This book does not contain the information from the events of [[Urithiru]].
Hessi talks of most of the Unmade, such as [[Sja-anat]] and [[Ashertmarn]]. Hessi's Mythica advises the reader on how to tell the signs of some of the Unmade, and what to do if these signs are found. This usually involves running.{{epigraph ref|sa3|98}} She has found that Sja-anat was the most feared by Radiants, for her ability to corrupt spren--though it only spoke of "lesser spren" which she did not understand the meaning of--and was often referred to as an individual, when others were seen as forces instead.{{epigraph ref|sa3|97}} She can only speculate on the ninth Unmade, but
In this book, Hessi attributes personalities to the Unmade, and describes how they ran wild during the [[Desolation]]s, the nine Unmade.{{epigraph ref|sa3|91}} She also claims not all of them were destroyed in [[Aharietiam]], and insists that some are alive today.{{epigraph ref|sa3|92}} Hessi gives a brief description of the known unmade, saying what they do and what they are called. She believes that the three mindless Unmade are still around, [[Nergaoul]] as the [[Thrill]], giving battle rage to both sides, and visions of red mist and dying animals, as said in the legends.{{epigraph ref|sa3|100}} [[Moelach]] as the [[Death Rattle]]s, because they seem to be regional, moving about across Roshar, as well as this Moelach was said to give their visions most commonly in the transition point between realms, when a soul is nearing the [[Tranquiline Halls]], and the Death Rattles seem oddly prophetic, too much so to be cast away as not a possibility.{{epigraph ref|sa3|103}} Hessi speculates that Moelach is the reason why predicting the future is of the enemy, as that telling the future is believed to originate from him.{{epigraph ref|sa3|101}} The third great mindless Unmade is Ashertmarn, Heart of the Revel. There is not much she can find that might come from this Unmade, but she speculates that the great debauchery of [[Bayala]] in 480, leading to dynastic collapse, may have been the influence of Ashertmarn.{{epigraph ref|sa3|104}}
