Nomad has spent years running from the Night Brigade, jumping between worlds across the Cosmere to stay ahead of his relentless pursuers. His luck runs out when his powers fail him, stranding him on Canticle. This planet offers no sanctuary. The sunrise burns hot enough to melt stone, forcing everyone to keep moving or die. Nomad barely escapes the deadly dawn when he stumbles into a war between rebels and their oppressive ruler. He faces three paths: help the rebels fight their battle, submit to a life of slavery under the tyrant, or get caught by the sun and burn. Each choice carries its own death sentence. As Nomad weighs his options, his past mistakes haunt him. The consequences of old decisions threaten to destroy not just his body but his soul. On a world where standing still means death, Nomad must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to survive.
