Adam here. We have some exciting news for those of you who have been waiting to order your Dragonsteel leatherbound edition of The Hero of Ages: you can now get your copy signed and personalized! We are still behind schedule so it may still take 8-12 weeks to get shipped out to you.

BYU Bookstore
Subterranean Press (they have closed their orders, but should shortly be shipping out the books to those who did place orders
Mysterious Galaxy

Murder by the Book
Ubooks in Seattle

This week, in chapter 60, Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, Elhokar, Skar, Drehy, and three of Shallan’s followers are riding the storm towards Kholinar. When they arrive, Kaladin immediately notices that the city is still under Alethi rule, but there’s something dark and wrong with the palace—or more accurately, the oathgate platform beside it.
