It was released on November 14th, 2017. == ~~Cover~~ Synopsis == ''A new storm has come.'' ''For those secrets will crush him as they did the knights who came before.''{{tweet ref\|916417321748504576\|Just got the final dust jacket for Oathbringer. Huzzah!\|date=2017-10-06}} == Cover Flap == Dalinar Kholin's Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: the enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshman to the horror of their millenia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified. Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar is too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar's blood-soaked past and stand together-and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past-even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization. == Summary == === Name Changes === The original tentative title, when Szeth was still the focus character, was "Stones Unhallowed". Like all planned titles for ''The Stormlight Archive'' this would have been the title of an in-world book, likely in dealing with Urithiru which [[Ali\|Ali-daughter-Hasweth]] mentions was at times the Shin's only connection to the outside world due to its "stones unhallowed".{{book ref\|sa2\|47}} "Skybreakers" was also mentioned by Brandon as a working title, as Brandon felt "Stones Unhallowed" would possibly be too similar to Patrick Rothfuss' "Doors of Stone" if they were released in close proximity.{{~~cite~~wob ref \|7960}} "The Highprince of War" was the working title for the fifth book in The Stormlight Archive, which is where Dalinar's flashbacks were originally scheduled to appear.{{wob ref\|10033}} In February 2013 though, Brandon said it was "almost certain" to change.{{tor ref\|the-title-for-brandon-sandersons-second-stormlight-archive-book-has-been-revealed\|Words of Radiance press release\|date=Feb 28th, 2013}} During the process of writing Stormlight 3, especially after shifting the focus to Dalinar, Brandon began referring to it as "Oathbringer" which eventually became its official title. The first four Dalinar flashback chapters were released on December 6, 2016, in the ''Unfettered II'' anthology, edited by Shawn Speakman.{{reddit ref\|fantasy\|55vwwu\|d8eowxw\|text=Brandon comments on his submission to ''Unfettered II''.\|date=Oct 4, 2016}} The prologue was released on Tor.com on August 22, 2017. {{tor ref\|2017/08/22/oathbringer-brandon-sanderson-prologue\|text=Tor.com release of Oathbringer prologue.\|date=August 22, 2017}} 3 chapters were released every week until the 31st of October and November 7th only had 2 chapters. == Cover Gallery == {{for\|/Covers\|a cover gallery of Oathbringer}} == Interior Art == {{for\|/Interior art\|a gallery of the book's interior art}} == See Also == * [[Oathbringer/Epigraphs]] * [[Oathbringer/Headings]] * [[Oathbringer/Covers]] * [[Oathbringer/Interior art]] == ~~Statistics~~Statistical Analysis == {{for\|/Statistical analysis\|a full statistical analysis}} ''Oathbringer'' consists of one prologue, 122 chapters, fourteen interludes, and one epilogue, reaching a total 454,440 word count (including chapter text, epigraphs, and part/chapter titles).
