The story is exciting and the pages fly by quickly.


It gives us a feel for the world again, allowing us to reacquaint ourselves with a few of our beloved characters. It’s been three years since Oathbringer was published, and Dawnshard dips our toes back into Roshar. The novella is a terrific warm-up for Rhythm of War. Set between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, the story stars the always-entertaining Windrunner, Lopen, and Rysn, now a shipowner, as they are sent by sea to investigate the hidden secrets of the remote island of Akinah. It feels great to be back in Roshar – even for just a quick trip.ĭawnshard is a short, highly-entertaining novella in Brandon Sanderson’s epic fantasy series, The Stormlight Archive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this tale (like Edgedancer before it) gives often-overshadowed characters their own chance to shine.
