Warbreaker
In a kingdom where colour is power and the dead return as gods, a princess is sent as a bride to the god-king she was raised to fear.
A standalone Cosmere novel set in Hallandren, where colour is power and the dead can be Returned as gods. Two princesses — one sent as a bride to a god-king she’s been raised to fear — get caught between palace politics and a coming war. Sanderson’s BioChromatic magic runs on Breath and colour, and the book is among his funniest, driven by a mercenary god who’d rather not be worshipped. A great single-volume entry point.
