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.

Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service.

The Movement: an experimental society that has come into it's prime. Words are limited and hardly heard. The society is cloaked in white and silence, in perfection and order. Taeo Ramm has always been the perfect Movement citizen. He has waited for the day when he would get his words, and it has finally come. On the day of his 18th birthday, fresh out of his Surgery to speak, Taeo is taken by a group of rogue Free Speaks. These are people he was taught don't exist, but now he's found them. Or more, they've found him. And they have a plan. It's time for the Movement to end it's experiment, and Taeo is the pawn to make it happen. Only, Taeo doesn't know if he wants to support the Free Speaks after he learns some of their own, dark secrets, but he doesn't know if he wants to support the Movement anymore, either. He only knows one thing: things are changing, and he's the catalyst for it all.
