The Stormlight Archive the Mistborn Saga and countless bestselling works of science fiction
and fantasy - comes this gripping story set in the Cosmere universe told by Hoid where two

disaster. Yumi has spent her entire life in strict obedience granting her the power to summon
the spirits that bestow vital aid upon her society - but she longs for even a single day as a
normal person. Painter patrols the dark streets dreaming of being a hero - a goal that has led
