Contents 1 Development 2 Plot 3 Audiobook 4 Sequel 5 References 6 External links Development The third book was initially titled Stones Unhallowed with Szeth - son - son - Vallano as its focus, then Skybreaker, and eventually Oathbringer with the focus on Dalinar Kholin. Prior to the release of Oathbringer, several chapters and interludes have been posted in blog posts, read in conventions and published in an anthology. Sanderson has provided numerous updates on Reddit about his progress on the book. On December 9, 2016, three weeks after his fifth update, Tor announced that Sanderson had completed his first draft, coming in at 461,223 words. On March 15, 2017, Sanderson completed the third of five planned drafts, which totaled 514,000 words. On June 15, 2017, Sanderson completed the fifth and final draft and managed to cut it down to 450,000 words. On June 27, 2017, Tor posted a blog post detailing the process of beta reading for Oathbringer in which beta readers give their immediate reactions to any given point in the story and look for continuity. Due to the length of the book, Tor had to use a different press and bindery than the one that printed Words of Radiance. After realizing the book took more time to work on than originally planned, Sanderson wrote a novella titled Edgedancer, following Lift ; first published in Arcanum Unbounded : The Cosmere Collection, an anthology of Cosmere short fiction, on November 22, 2016. On March 16, 2017, Tor Books revealed the cover art for Oathbringer, painted by Michael Whelan. It shows Jasnah Kholin defending a city against an invasion. She reaches for a Shardblade while simultaneously soulcasting a large hole in the city wall made by a thunderclast. Three days later, Tor posted a blog post that discussed details of the cover and how it may relate to the book 's plot. On July 14, 2017, Sanderson revealed the UK cover of Oathbringer on Twitter. On August 2, 2017, Tor Books revealed the dates and locations for the Oathbringer book tour. Tor.com released the prologue on August 22 and will subsequently release the first 32 chapters, three weekly, from August 29 up to the release day for free on its website. Plot Dalinar Kholin 's Alethi armies won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost : The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, which now sweeps the world with destruction, and in its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the horror of their millennia - long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that the newly kindled anger of the parshmen may be wholly justified. Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths dark secrets lurking in its depths. And Dalinar realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put aside Dalinar 's blood - soaked past and stand together ― and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past ― even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not prevent the end of civilization. Audiobook An audiobook version of the book is expected to be released on the same day as the hardcover version, and is read by narrator team Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, who also read The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, and several other books written by Sanderson. Sequel The fourth book in The Stormlight Archive series is planned to be released in 2020 with the focus on Eshonai. It takes place a year after the events of Oathbringer.
