Warbreaker – By Brandon Sanderson

Enter the vibrant, color-infused world of Warbreaker, a standalone masterpiece from the interconnected Cosmere universe that introduces characters who later play pivotal roles in the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.

In this unique realm, every person is born endowed with a single "Breath"—a vital essence that can be sold, collected, and used to Awaken inanimate objects or even corpses to do their bidding. Those who die in supreme glory return as gods, granted the power of thousands of Breaths and enthroned in the opulent Court of Gods in Hallandren's capital.

For Vivenna and Siri, princesses of neighboring Idris, the abuse of Breath and the claims of the Returned are repulsive blasphemy. When a political treaty forces one princess into a marriage with the terrifying God King of their enemies, the other must rely on Breath-using mercenaries to rescue her sister from a monstrous fate. Meanwhile, Lightsong the Bold—a lesser god who openly doubts his own religion—begins investigating strange murders within the court, uncovering haunting clues about his own forgotten mortal life. As political factions push for an illegal invasion and the mysterious swordsman Vasher works behind the scenes to prevent catastrophe, the new queen must find a way to navigate a deadly web of deceit before her homeland is destroyed.
