Warbreaker

Ein Krieg zwischen den beiden ungleichen Reichen Idris und Hallandren scheint unvermeidbar. Um die Vernichtung hinauszuzögern, bleibt dem König von Idris kein anderer Ausweg, als die Einhaltung eines einst geschlossenen Paktes: Die Vermählung einer seiner Töchter mit dem Gottkönig von Hallandren. Doch statt Vivenna, die ihr Leben lang auf diese Rolle vorbereitet wurde, schickt der König seine jüngste Tochter Siri, ein quirliges, aufmüpfiges Mädchen, an den Hof des Feindes.

Résumé

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE

A STANDALONE COSMERE ADVENTURE WITH MAGIC AS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN IT

A story of two sisters, who just so happen to be princesses.
A story about two gods, one a God King and one lesser.
A story about an immortal trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.
Meet WARBREAKER.

This is a story of two sisters - who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, a lesser god, and an immortal trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago.

Theirs is a world in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren's capital city. A world transformed by BioChromatic magic, a power based on an essence known as breath. Using magic is arduous: breath can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.

But the rewards are great: by using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be performed.
