Dawnshard

A new, thick novella called Dawnshard is out from Brandon Sanderson, the creator of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth enormous part, Rhythm of War. This story, which takes place in between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, offers people who are often overlooked their own opportunity to shine, just as Edgedancer did before it.

Navani Kholin has to deploy an expedition to make sure the storm-shrouded island of Akina hasn't slipped into enemy hands when a ghost ship is found, its crew assumed dead after attempting to reach there. When Knights Radiant get too close, they discover that their Stormlight has abruptly run out, necessitating a sea expedition.

Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost her legs, but she won the friendship of a flying larkin, a species long believed extinct, named Chiri-Chiri. Now that Rysn's pet is sick, the only place where Chiri-Chiri may find any chance of healing is Akinah, the larkin's ancestral home. Rysn must accept Navani's task and go out into the dangerous storm that no one has ever survived, with the aid of Lopen, the once-one-armed Windrunner. The destiny of Roshar and the whole Cosmere rests on the crew's ability to discover the mysteries of the hidden island metropolis before the ancient guardians turn on them.
