About the Book:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes Warbreaker, a captivating story of intrigue, magic, and destiny. In the world of Hallandren, those who die in glory return as gods, living confined to a pantheon in the capital city. At the heart of this society is BioChromatic magic, a powerful force derived from an essence known as breath, which can be collected one unit at a time from individuals. By harnessing breath and the color in everyday objects, practitioners can perform all manner of miracles and mischief.

The story follows two sisters, Vivenna and Siri, princesses of the small kingdom of Idris. Vivenna, the eldest, is initially betrothed to the God King, Susebron, but in a twist of fate, it is the younger, more rebellious Siri who is sent to fulfill this daunting role. As Siri navigates the complexities and dangers of the court, Vivenna embarks on a mission to save her sister, plunging into a world of political intrigue and unexpected alliances.

Among the pantheon is Lightsong, the reluctant god of bravery who questions his divinity and purpose. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Vasher, known as the Warbreaker, seeks to right the wrongs of his past, wielding his own mastery of BioChromatic magic.

As their paths converge, these characters must confront their own beliefs and the hidden truths of their world. It will take a considerable amount of breath, color, and courage to overcome the challenges they face and alter the course of their destinies.

Warbreaker is a richly woven narrative that explores themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the true nature of power. With Sanderson’s signature world-building and compelling characters, this standalone novel is a must-read for fans of epic fantasy.
