Warbreaker tells the story of two sister princesses, [[Vivenna]] the elder and [[Siri]] the younger, of the country of [[Idris]].

For reasons of political expediency, Siri is sent, unprepared, to fulfill the treaty.

Both sisters become involved in intrigues relating to an imminent war between their home nation of Idris and Hallendren and attempt to divert the war from happening in their own ways: Siri from the inside of the government and Vivenna from cooperation with the underground.
