Detail from the cover of the Orion edition of Oathbringer
The Stormlight Archive is a fantasy series written by Brandon Sanderson. There are ten planned novels in this epic tale, starting with The Way of Kings. This first novel won the David Gemmell Legend Award for best novel in 2011, following three previous nominations for the author.
The story switches between the points of view of various characters who often possess magical abilities or objects, and whose positions in the world vary from nobility to peasantry. While their stories often seem unconnected, they are all set against the backdrop of a world threatened by a repeating disaster called the Desolation. Luxuriously described landscapes and detailed lore and histories make for an elaborate story that is well-deserving of its epic status.
