Words of Radiance: Book two of the Stormlight Archive (in English)
Sanderson, Brandon
Synopsis "Words of Radiance: Book two of the Stormlight Archive (in English)"
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, Words of Radiance, Book Two of the Stormlight Archive, continues the immersive fantasy epic that The Way of Kings began. Expected by his enemies to die the miserable death of a military slave, Kaladin survived to be given command of the royal bodyguards, a controversial first for a low-status darkeyes. Now he must protect the king and Dalinar from every common peril as well as the distinctly uncommon threat of the Assassin, all while secretly struggling to master remarkable new powers that are somehow linked to his honorspren, Syl. The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives. Brilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Despite being broken in ways she refuses to acknowledge, she bears a terrible burden: to somehow prevent the return of the legendary Voidbringers and the civilization-ending Desolation that will follow. The secrets she needs can be found at the Shattered Plains, but just arriving there proves more difficult than she could have imagined. Meanwhile, at the heart of the Shattered Plains, the Parshendi are making an epochal decision. Hard pressed by years of Alethi attacks, their numbers ever shrinking, they are convinced by their war leader, Eshonai, to risk everything on a desperate gamble with the very supernatural forces they once fled. The possible consequences for Parshendi and humans alike, indeed, for Roshar itself, are as dangerous as they are incalculable.

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.

La mejor trilogía que me he leído en años. Desearía que hubieran especificado que era tapa blanda.
