Alcatraz Versus the Knights of Crystallia
Book 3 of the Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians series
Alcatraz Smedry reaches the Free Kingdom city of Nalhalla and finally sees the society from which his family comes. His growing fame and unusual Talent do not make him comfortable with politics, expectations, or the Knights of Crystallia who defend the Free Kingdoms. When danger threatens the city, Alcatraz must work with Bastille and his eccentric relatives while questioning institutions that are supposed to be on his side. Brandon Sanderson’s third Alcatraz novel mixes magical action and parody with a broader look at heroism, reputation, and the complicated reality behind the Free Kingdoms.
