Summary
In a world where lighteyes worship Odium, darkeyes and singers are reduced to a number and sold at auction. At the age of twenty-three, all lighteyes are required to buy a slave. Refusal means punishment or potential death.
When Adolin turns twenty-three, he’s invited to his first auction, where he ends up with slave #9152, who he later finds out is named Kaladin.
Everyone around him treats their slaves with the cruelty modeled by Odium himself. But Adolin can’t bring himself to do the same. What begins as small acts of kindness—acts Kaladin rejects—slowly grows into trust and something neither of them had anticipated. Love.
But when others notice how differently Adolin treats his slave, he’s forced to choose between getting away clean or suffering punishment for his defiance.
And when it’s revealed that the Radiants aren’t gone after all, and that Kaladin may be involved… everything changes.
