The Contest of Champions is set. The fate of Roshar hangs in the balance.

For ten years, a brutal war has raged against the forces of Odium. Now, the conflict has been distilled into a single, terrifying deadline: Dalinar Kholin has challenged the enemy god to a contest of champions, and the future of the entire world will be decided by the outcome. As the final ten days approach, every secret, every ideal, and every sacrifice will be brought into the light.

Kaladin, having sworn his Fourth Ideal, must now grapple with his new role and protect those who cannot protect themselves, even as the weight of his past failures haunts him. Shallan Davar must confront the last of her fragmented identities and face the truths she has long buried to prevent the enemy from using them against her. Szeth-son-son-Vallano, the Assassin in White, must cleanse his name and master his new powers, all while preparing for his own monumental quest.

As the Radiants converge for the final confrontation, a new, more cunning Odium plays a game no one could have predicted. The first epic of The Stormlight Archive reaches its earth-shattering conclusion in Wind and Truth.
