About the book

From the #1 Kickstarter campaign of all time—#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson adds to his Cosmere universe of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive a standalone novel especially for fans of fantasy romances. Narrated by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer. There is a world of endless night, surrounded by an even deeper darkness. Filled with nightmares come to life, twisted shapes that slink to windows and slide across floors to look down on helpless faces. There is another world so bright it burns. Filled with stacked stones that call forth miracles, raised by callused hands that tremble in their work. Between these worlds two souls collide, entwine. Yumi’s life is spent in strict obedience, granting her the power to summon the spirits that bestow vital aid to her society—but she longs for a single day as a normal person.
