The Way of Kings, Hardcover Book, By: Brandon Sanderson

The Way of Kings, Book One of the Stormlight Archive begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion. Rosha 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 Shard blades and Shard plate remain: mystical swords and suits of Armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors.
