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.

In this Chinese urban fantasy, PERCY JACKSON meets SPIRITED AWAY and JOURNEY TO THE WEST. ***** Born with blood in their veins that runs only half Chinese, Faryn Liu and her brother Alex are shunned by the other warriors in the Jade Society, an ancient Chinese order created to protect the people of Earth from demons. Yet Faryn longs to follow in the footsteps of her legendary warrior father, though her blood status will keep her from ever wielding a weapon. Then, everything changes when Faryn sneaks out on the night of Chinese New Year and, with the help of a strange old man, saves Chinatown from the wrath of the nian dragon. Days after the nian dragon has been slain, a god descends upon the Jade Society bearing a message with the opportunity of Faryn's lifetime. The Jade Emperor, ruler of the gods, has called upon his warriors to do what no mortals have managed before, and track down the mystical Peng Lai islands. Those who succeed will become immortalized as his Heavenly Generals. Demons that have been dormant for decades are stirring, and the Emperor knows war is on the horizon. Armed with a powerful spear given to her by a goddess, Faryn and her brother must find the islands and prove that they are as worthy to be named warriors as any others. But the road to glory is littered with more than tricky gods and vicious demons. It's paved with betrayal and death. And for Faryn, living up to her father's name and her own expectations might mean turning into a monster herself.

“Are you alright?" The corner of Eirnin’s mouth quirked up with a hint of a smile, probably remembering her reaction when he’d asked her that a moment ago. Story smiled sheepishly back up at him. "I'm fine. I think I just stepped on a rock and cut my foot. If I ever find out who took my shoes, I'll kill them." He lowered himself to one knee and bent over to pick up her injured foot. "I'd be willing to bet it was one of the fey. They're very territorial by nature and often take things that are left lying—” His voice cut off abruptly, and he stiffened before jerking to his feet and backing away from her as if she had a contagious disease. He stopped only when his back hit a tree. Eirnin of the Eáchan clan’s silver eyes—now with hints of bright yellow to them—widened in astonishment, and he stared, transfixed, at the red blood dripping from her foot. "What are you?"
