Oathbringer

About Oathbringer

Oathbringer is the third epic fantasy novel in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive, and among the most ambitious entries in the series. Following the devastating events of the Battle of Narak, Dalinar Kholin leads the survivors to the ancient city of Urithiru, attempting to forge a coalition of kingdoms against the looming Desolation. But unity proves impossible when the past refuses to stay buried—Dalinar's suppressed memories begin to return, and what they reveal may destroy everything he has built. Kaladin is dispatched on a mission to his home village, torn between his duty as a Windrunner and his ties to the soldiers he once fought beside. Shallan goes undercover in the criminal underworld of Kholinar, where the city is descending into chaos. The novel reaches deeper into the Cosmere mythology than any previous Stormlight book, expanding the lore around the Shards of Adonalsium and the ancient war that still echoes in the present. With a climax that reshapes the entire series, Oathbringer proves that Sanderson is at the peak of his powers—delivering a story that is vast in scope, devastating in its emotional honesty, and utterly impossible to put down. A cornerstone of modern epic fantasy.
