About This Series
Sanderson's longest and most ambitious work, set on Roshar, a world scoured by magical hurricanes that have shaped everything living on it. The books are enormous, and each is built around one character's interior struggle as much as the war around them. Its central concern is unusual for epic fantasy: depression, obligation and the difficulty of becoming a person worth following. The oaths characters swear to gain power are also promises about who they intend to be. Dawnshard is a novella that sits between the larger volumes.
