The way of Kings: Book one of the Stormlight Archive (in English)
Brandon Sanderson
Synopsis "The way of Kings: Book one of the Stormlight Archive (in English)"
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings, Book One of the Stormlight Archive begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion. Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them. One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains. There, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable. Brightlord Dalinar Kholin commands one of those other armies. Like his brother, the late king, he is fascinated by an ancient text called The Way of Kings. Troubled by over-powering visions of ancient times and the Knights Radiant, he has begun to doubt his own sanity. Across the ocean, an untried young woman named Shallan seeks to train under an eminent scholar and notorious heretic, Dalinar's niece, Jasnah. Though she genuinely loves learning, Shallan's motives are less than pure. As she plans a daring theft, her research for Jasnah hints at secrets of the Knights Radiant and the true cause of the war. The result of over ten years of planning, writing, and world-building, The Way of Kings is but the opening movement of the Stormlight Archive, a bold masterpiece in the making. Speak again the ancient oaths: Life before death.Strength before weakness.Journey before Destination. and return to men the Shards they once bore. The Knights Radiant must stand again.

Brandon Sanderson (Lincoln, Nebraska, 19 de diciembre de 1975) es un escritor estadounidense de literatura fantástica y ciencia ficción. Es conocido sobre todo por el universo ficticio de Cosmere, en el que se ambientan la mayoría de sus novelas de fantasía, entre las que destacan las series Nacidos de la bruma (Mistborn) y El archivo de las tormentas. Fuera del Cosmere, ha escrito varias series juveniles y para jóvenes adultos, como The Reckoners, la serie Skyward y la serie Alcatraz. También es conocido por haber terminado la serie de alta fantasía de Robert Jordan La Rueda del Tiempo. Sanderson ha creado varias novelas gráficas de fantasía, como White Sand o Dark One.
Creó las Leyes de la Magia de Sanderson y popularizó la idea de sistemas de «magia dura» y «magia blanda». En 2008, Sanderson inició un podcast con el escritor Dan Wells y el dibujante Howard Tayler llamado Writing Excuses, en el que se tratan temas sobre crear escritura de géneros y webcómics. En 2016, la compañía de medios estadounidense DMG Entertainment obtiene los derechos de todo el universo de Cosmere creado por Sanderson, pero desde entonces los derechos han vuelto a manos de Sanderson. La campaña de Kickstarter de Sanderson de marzo de 2022 se convirtió en la más exitosa de la historia, con 185.341 donantes que prometieron 41'754.153 dólares.
Nacido en Nebraska, es miembro de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días (mormón) y actualmente reside en Provo (Utah), con su esposa Emily con la que contrajo matrimonio el 7 de julio de 2006. Obtuvo un máster en Literatura Creativa en 2005 en la Brigham Young University, donde fue compañero de habitación del campeón de Jeopardy! Ken Jennings. Ha sido nominado dos veces para el Premio John W. Campbell.
