Summary
Trained from birth in swordplay and combat, a young knight
named Siris has journeyed to the Dark Citadel with a single
purpose: fight through the army of Titans to face the
tyrannical God King in one-on-one combat. This was his
father’s sacred mission, and his father’s before
him, going back countless generations in an effort to free
their people from enslavement. But when Siris somehow succeeds
where all those from his bloodline previously have failed, he
finds himself cast into a much larger world, filled with
warriors and thieves, ancient feuds and shifting alliances,
Deathless immortals and would-be kings. His quest for freedom
will take him on an epic journey in search of the mythical
figure known as the Worker of Secrets – the one being in
the world who can unravel the secrets of the Infinity Blade.
Based on the bestselling video game from ChAIR Entertainment
and Epic Games, this all-new adventure from acclaimed fantasy
author Brandon Sanderson digs deeper into the fantastical world
of Infinity Blade, a world of mystery and intrigue where magic
and technology are indistinguishable, and even life and death
are not what they seem.
