Synopsis:
"Childhood friends Patricia Delfine and Laurence Armstead didn't
expect to see each other again, after parting ways under mysterious
circumstances during high school. After all, the development of magical
powers and the invention of a two-second time machine could hardly
fail to alarm one's peers and families.
But now they're both
adults, living in the hipster mecca San Francisco, and the planet is
falling apart around them. Laurence is an engineering genius who's
working with a group that aims to avert catastrophic breakdown through
technological intervention into the changing global climate. Patricia
is a graduate of Eltisley Maze, the hidden academy for the world's
magically gifted, and works with a small band of other magicians to
secretly repair the world's every-growing ailments. Little do they
realize that something bigger than either of them, something begun
years ago in their youth, is determined to bring them together--to
either save the world, or plunge it into a new dark ages."
Synopsis:
"A generation ago, the city of Voortyashtan was the stronghold of the god
of war and death, the birthplace of fearsome supernatural sentinels who
killed and subjugated millions. Now, the city’s god is dead. The city
itself lies in ruins. And to its new military occupiers, the
once-powerful capital is a wasteland of sectarian violence and bloody
uprisings. So it makes perfect sense that General Turyin Mulaghesh—
foul-mouthed hero of the battle of Bulikov, rumored war criminal, ally
of an embattled Prime Minister—has been exiled there to count down the
days until she can draw her pension and be forgotten. At least, it
makes the perfect cover story. The truth is that the general has
been pressed into service one last time, dispatched to investigate a
discovery with the potential to change the world—or destroy it. The
trouble is that this old soldier isn't sure she's still got what it
takes to be the hero."
Synopsis:
"Now, with The Bands of Mourning, Sanderson continues the
story. The Bands of Mourning are the mythical metalminds owned by the
Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord
Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A
kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to
depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can
read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New
Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the
true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as
The Set."
