A world where stopping is fatal

Nomad’s long-running flight through the Cosmere ends in a dangerous bind: stranded on Canticle, he must keep moving to survive a planet where sunrise brings fires hot enough to melt stone. The immediate threat of the landscape intersects with a political conflict between a tyrant and the rebels opposing him, while Nomad’s depleted powers limit his options. The description also places his struggle against the consequences of his past, linking physical survival to a question of personal integrity. Presented as a standalone novel and a glimpse of a future Cosmere, the book combines a perilous planetary setting with an uprising and a protagonist forced to confront what he carries with him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in epic fantasy set within the Cosmere.
  • Readers who enjoy speculative worlds built around a vivid environmental danger.
  • Readers looking for a standalone entry featuring rebellion and a protagonist’s struggle with his past.

Book overview

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 standalone novel showing a rare glimpse of a future Cosmere universe.

Running. Putting distance between himself and the relentless Night Brigade has been Nomad's strategy for years. Staying one or two steps ahead of his pursuers by skipping through the Cosmere from one world to the next.

But now, his powers too depleted to escape, Nomad finds himself trapped on Canticle, a planet that will kill anyone who doesn't keep moving. Fleeing the fires of a sunrise that melts the very stones, he is instantly caught up in the struggle between a heartless tyrant and the brave rebels who defy him.

Failure means a quick death, incinerated by the sun... or a lifetime as a mindless slave. Tormented by the consequences of his past, Nomad must fight not only for his survival--but also for his very soul.
