From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson―creator of 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 people from incredibly different cultures must work together to save their worlds from certain 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 to nothing but heartache and isolation, leaving him always on the outside looking in. In their own ways, both of them face the world alone.

Suddenly flung together, Yumi and Painter must strive to right the wrongs in both their lives, reconciling their past and present while maintaining the precarious balance of each of their worlds. If they cannot unravel the mystery of what brought them together before it’s too late, they risk forever losing not only the bond growing between them, but the very worlds they’ve always struggled to protect.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Valued inspiration

Spectacular story with outstanding characters that inspire art. I need to listen to more Cosamere novels.

Almost as good as Tress.

One of the best standalones Sanderson has ever written and with Hoid as a quirky Pratchety narrator.

They always do great, but not the voices I expected I think?

I think this was a case of my brain had decided how the voices of these characters would sound prior to listening, but the narrator wasn’t quite the Hoid I was expecting and then kept reminding me of Sheldon Cooper and then I couldn’t unhear it. It was distracting but had nothing to do with the quality of work, so I still recommend 👍🏻

I didn't want it to end.

Story was a little cheesy, but I was always eager to get back to the story!

wonderful writing!!

I wish I would have gotten the other book. the dramatized one is fairly annoying 😑. But the story is so good, just like all of his works!!

if you like anime this book is for you, and if you don't it's still for you

genuinely my new favorite novel, the presentation of the story is phenomenal and the casting is perfect. I rarely cry during books, this one got me.

Sanderson is evil and will make you feel things

only issue was that it wasn't 3 times longer - was a great story and awesome performance

Dislike voice actors

I love this story, so this review is not a reflection of that. The way Yumi was portrayed was horrible and I could not get past it. She sounds very whiney and way too young. She's supposed to be 19-20, not 10. Also I just think this book doesn't lend itself really well to graphic audio. The narrator is the main voice and without a lot of dialogue and action, this doesn't have the same impact that GA usually does. I was really looking forward to this one but I'm pretty disappointed.
