“Get me out of here,” she whispered hoarsely, they stared back at her silently. The loathsome Petey grinned at her, wiggling his eyebrows. Violet gripped the metal bars, shaking them violently and screaming in frustration. “Let me out!” “Now, now m’lady, don’t you think its time to rest those lovely eyes of yours?” Jack took a step forward, raising his palm towards her. A child’s scream rang out, as she was blasted to the back of the wagon, banging into the hard wall. Darkness clouded her vision, as she fell to the ground, and slipped into unconsciousness. * * * When Violet begins experiencing her telepathic abilities, she goes to visit a close friend for advice. However, upon returning, she realizes too late that her powers have attracted slavers keen on kidnapping and selling young gifted children. Cover taken from 'Medieval Girl' by Zienta on DeviantArt

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.
