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.

Six kids. Kids with powers. Powers that can change the world. World change for good. Or evil. Alex Williams, a sixteen year old high school student, has extraordinary powers, unknown to him. That is, until he meets his substitute teacher, Mr. Mathers, who explains the truth to Alex, and introduces him to five others. They all have mysterious powers. They all could change the world. Together, they are the greatest of the Program. The Generation X Program.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

[Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Romance ] Aurora Rosa is bonded—but not by choice, her existence is tied to a man she has yet to meet. Forced into submission because of her origin, her fate is sealed. Why? Because she is the property of Zachary Thomson. The man who owns her contract. As an Immortalia, she is nothing but a product with no expiration date. With extraordinary powers, she’s useful to many. Useful in the sense that she can benefit several businesses—that is until they tamper with her nature, and transforms her into a weapon instead of a tool.

The human world has been taken over by an ambitious race called the Karalucians, causing the human civilization to reach the lowest point of consciousness of any others in the universe. But the Kalalusians have other plans rather than just simply taking over a planet. They are searching for something; something that has been buried deep inside the mists of time and universe. If they find the sacred object, not only the species of earth will be in great danger, but the entire universe will meet its end. Now, the fate of the mortal world hangs in the hands of some immature teenagers. Will they be able to turn the tide between good and evil as destined? Or will they fail like every other mortal race before them? This is not just a normal clash between races, but was cleverly planned by others millions of years ago. The teens soon recognize that humans were on the wrong track ever since the beginning of our history books. The world they think they know is only just a part of a much greater world. A world beyond anything they could possibly imagine. Little did they know, this is only the beginning of an epic quest through an extraordinary world and that will change the course of history forever. And they have just discovered, they are coming face to face with the darkest moments of the human civilization.
