Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary.She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant.Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she's able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return.To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.

Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy.As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning.Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best.In short, this isn't the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy - but it has been a while - you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books).Saying anything more here risks revealing too much.

Mistbornští hrdinové Kelsier, Vin, Elend, Sazed a Špuk už patří do historie, avšak přestože moderní život ovládá technika, stará magie allomancie a feruchemie má i v novém světě stále své nezastupitelné místo a stává se nástrojem statečných, kteří se snaží zavést řád a spravedlnost v životě jak zákonem takřka nepoznamenaných divokých Burin, tak velkoměsta Elendelu.

Waxilián Ladrian se však dovídá, že jejich existenci potvrdila jistá kandra. Moc skrytá v těchto náramcích by mohla způsobit katastrofu, protože v elendelské kotlině vře konflikt mezi Elendelem a venkovem. Waxilián odmítá nabídku vydat se po stopách ztracených náramků, protože se cítí podveden bohem Souladem, a jako svůj jediný cíl vidí osvobození své sestry Telsin ze zajetí Sboru vedeného jejich strýcem Edwarnem. Na cestě za tímto cílem ho provází jeho snoubenka Steris. Po stopách náramků se vydává Waxiliánův kolega Wayne se Sterisinou sestrou Marasi. Jejich cesty se však brzy spojí.

From the bestselling author who completed Robert Jordan''s epic Wheel of Time series comes a new, original creation that matches anything else in modern fantasy for epic scope, thrilling imagination, superb characters and sheer addictiveness.In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive series, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe whose numbers are as great as their thirst for vengeance.The Alethi armies commanded by Dalinar Kholin won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, and now its destruction sweeps the world and its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the true horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that their newly kindled anger may be wholly justified.Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths the dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put Dalinar''s blood-soaked past aside and stand together - and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past - even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not avert the end of civilization.''I loved this book. What else is there to say?'' Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind, on The Way of Kings

After forming a coalition of human resistance against the enemy invasion, Dalinar Kholin and his Knights Radiant have spent a year fighting a protracted, brutal war.

Now, as new technological discoveries by Navani Kholin's scholars begin to change the face of the war, the enemy prepares a bold and dangerous operation.

Adolin and Shallan must lead the coalition's envoy to the honorspren stronghold of Lasting Integrity and either convince the spren to join the cause against the evil god Odium, or personally face the storm of failure.
