The Sunlit Man

Years ago, he had comrades in arms and a cause to believe in, but now the man who calls himself Nomad knows only a life on the run. Once a warrior with a purpose, he is now a fugitive in the vast universe of the Cosmere. Forced to hop from world to world whenever the relentless Night Brigade gets too close, Nomad lands on a new planet and is instantly caught up in the struggle between a tyrant and the rebels who only want to escape the fate of becoming mindless slaves. All this occurs under the constant threat of a deadly sunrise, where the heat will melt the very stones.

As Nomad finds himself in a world brimming with alien conflicts and unfamiliar languages, he must navigate the intricacies of local politics and gather enough power to leap offworld once more. The stakes are high, and every moment he remains puts his mind and body at further risk. Can he decipher the language and culture quickly enough to avoid disaster, or will the inevitable sunrise find him too late?

From his record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, The Sunlit Man is one of four incredible new novels by one of the world's biggest fantasy writers, Brandon Sanderson.
