WARBREAKER is the story of two sisters - who happen to be princesses; the God King one of them has to marry; a lesser god; and an immortal trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. theirs is a world in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandrens capital city. A world transformed by BioChromatic magic; a power based on an essence known as breath. Using magic is arduous: breath can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. But the rewards are great: by using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects; all manner of miracles and mischief can be performed. Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is a master of what Tolkien called secondary creation; the invention of whole worlds; complete with magics and myths all their own.
