After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

Trapped within the land of dreams, a beast shall awaken; Demonic and evil, heroes forsaken. But beneath the full moon, lies a shimmering star; A curse darkens the path, cast by Angels afar. Clock beating quickly, death close behind; Until all things unfold, the planets again align. When time stands still, all the world will collapse; Unless they discover in time, the keys to one's past. Plagued by livid dreams that are coming true, a dark power she has yet to control, and left without any memory of her past, Lillian is thrown into the supernatural world to fend for herself. Will she be able to survive, control her powers, and hold onto her humanity before her fate comes knocking? ~~~~~~~~ Arising Fate is a thrilling fantasy story that plunges the reader into a world that thrives on beauty and terror. Its focus is on the development of a new supernatural creature who has been made from contradictions. A creature who is both demonic and angelic, who craves annihilation and death but who also desires life and beauty. Arising Fate is about how one finds the beauty and ribbons of light within the darkness. It is a book and concept that I have been developing for five years now and has been based on personal stories and experiences. All of us have seen tragedy, experienced loss and pain. Yet, despite all of it, the lucky ones have found a way to push past that darkness towards the light. Arising Fate deals with the battle of one's own mind on multiple platforms. Each characters' experiences have shaped who they have become and who they are becoming as some search for that light and others get trapped beneath the shadows. I hope you all enjoy
