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. The story will continue . . . (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Dramatické události v Babilaru způsobily, že se Profesor přestal vzpírat temnotě a stal se z něj Výjimečný. Pod jménem Světlonoš se přesouvá do Ildithie, solného města, které se posouvá z místa na místo. David Charleston se stává vůdcem Zúčtovatelů a připravuje se k utkání se Světlonošem. Cílem tentokrát není jeho smrt, strategie se změnila. Chtějí získat Profesora na svou stranu, vyvést ho z temnoty. David si uvědomuje, že nekonečné zabíjení Výjimečných nemá smysl. Současně mu dochází, že za temnou stránkou chování Výjimečných stojí Kalamita. Konečným cílem je proto s pomocí Profesorových schopností svrhnout tohoto nejvyššího Výjimečného a změnit definitivně řád, který na Zemi panuje už dlouhých jedenáct let. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Šestnáctiletý Joel touží po tom, stát se ritmatikem. Ritmatici mají moc vdechnout život dvourozměrným křídovým obrázkům postaviček a vytvořit z nich bojeschopné bytosti, křídáky.

Lidstvo se ocitlo ve smrtelném nebezpečí před novou Spouští spojenou s návratem Pustonošů. Urithiru, město ve věži uprostřed skal, které poskytlo lidem útočiště před nevyzpytatelnou věčnou bouří, která se teď kříží s již dříve ničivými velebouřemi a narušila veškeré zákonitosti klimatu, v sobě samo skrývá spoustu tajemství a nástrah. Aby Urithiru umožnilo lidem víc než jen holé přežití, Šalán, Navani a jejich badatelé usilovně pracují na odhalení fabriálů, bez nichž město nemůže fungovat. Brzy ale začínají tušit, že ani odvěké útočiště Rytířského Paprsku jim nezajistí bezpečí, protože v jeho hlubinách číhá neznámá temná síla.

První kniha plánovaného desetidílného cyklu je vstupní bránou do světa Rošáru. Rošár je kamenná země zmítaná bouřemi, jimž se přizpůsobila příroda (rostliny rostou z kamene a v bouřích se zatahují do země, zvířata se ukrývají do ulit a tvrdých schránek) i lidé (města se staví podle přesných schémat v místech mezi skalami). Při bouřích se uvolňuje zvláštní energie, bouřná záře, kterou je možné nabít polodrahokamy a ty potom využít třeba k pohonu fabriálů (důmyslných zařízení, která lidem zjednodušují život). Předurčení jedinci dokáží pomocí bouřné záře znásobit své síly a získat mimořádné schopnosti.

Za bouří trpí halucinacemi a to všechno ho postupně připravuje o autoritu. Mladá dívka Šalán po smrti svého otce usiluje o studium u Dalinarovy neteře Jasny Kholinové, známé badatelky a kacířky. Šalán k tomu ovšem nevede zdaleka jen touha po poznání. potřebuje Jasnin fabriál. Lékařův syn Kaladin se vzdává kariéry, aby mohl chránit svého malého bratra, který je povolán do války.

eBook:,Titul Spousta obsahuje trojici příběhů Stefana Leedse, přezdívaného Spousta vzhledem k tomu, že jeho unikátní psychika dokáže v halucinacích vytvořit spoustu samostatně existujících aspektů jeho osobnosti, které s ním vytvářejí funkční tým. Je geniálním řešitelem záhad, protože každý jeho aspekt je specialistou v určité odbornosti, a proto je také - ke své značné nelibosti - středem pozornosti psychiatrů a vědců, kteří ho stíhají na každém kroku. První případ ho zavede od tajemného dopisu až do Jeruzaléma, kde za pomoci svých aspektů pátrá po ztraceném záhadném přístroji budoucnosti, jehož objevení by přepsalo celou lidskou historii a jehož zneužití by mohlo ohrozit samotnou existenci lidstva. Ve druhém příběhu, Pod kůží, Spousta pomáhá příteli najít ukradenou mrtvolu vědce, která by mohla ukrývat klíč k významnému vědeckému objevu. Pátrání mu komplikuje profesionální vrah, který mu je neustále v patách, a bratr zemřelého, snažící se hájit čest rodiny. Třetí příběh, Každý to má jinak, pootevírá pohled do Spoustova složitého nitra. Krize jeho aspektů a nová naděje na setkání s jeho bývalou láskou ho zavádějí do instituce, která se pomocí supermoderních technologií pokouší o manipulaci s lidskou psychikou a vůlí.
