Words of Radiance Review
Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Soulbreaker Excerpt (Book 2 in the Quintessence Cycle)
A bit from Soulbreaker, Book 2 in the Quintessence Cycle.
The Thing
The wind howled, a rabid beast that whipped against Winslow’s icy shelter, enraged it couldn’t get at its prey. When the first storm descended, over a month had passed since his test began. Several more storms had battered him since. Mired in the darkness of his confines he’d lost count of the following night and days. Had it been two more weeks? Three? Four?

Embers of a Broken Throne Released!
After much work, here’s the fourth volume in the Aegis of the Gods series, Embers of a Broken Throne. This was by far the hardest for me to write, trying to make certain all the plot lines added up and to make sure I tied up any loose ends. I hope you enjoy reading ti as much as I enjoyed writing it.
