Queen Navani agrees because she thinks there is an unknown oathgate in the lost city that would help them in the war effort against the Voidbringers. Rysn meets with Queen Navani Kholin to arrange an expedition to the lost city of Akinah. Chiri-Chiri is sick and Rysn learns that the larkin must return to its home, Akinah, an island off the coast of Aimia, to be healed. Her pet is Chiri-Chiri who is a larkin, a type of flying crustacean. She was paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair. Something odd is going on in those waters. In the prologue of the book, a ghost ship appears off the coast of Aimia. They are minor characters from the series that get a starring role in this novella.

Summaryĭawnshard by Brandon Sanderson has two viewpoint characters, Rysn and Lopen. Rysn and Lopen must uncover the secrets of the lost island of Akinah or it will doom Roshar. The novella follows the mission of shipowner Rysn Ftori and Windrunner Lopen which was not detailed in either novel. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.Dawnshard by Brandon Sanderson, Book #3.5 of the Stormlight Archive Introductionĭawnshard by Brandon Sanderson is a long novella set in between Oathbringer (Book 3 of the Stormlight Archive) and Rhythm of War (Book 4 of the Stormlight Archive). With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani's quest and sail into the perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. Now Rysn's pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri's recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct. Knights Radiant who fly too near find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm of War, this newest story (like Edgedancer before it) takes a deeper look at several characters in the saga, and brings them to the forefront. From Brandon Sanderson-author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War-comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard.
