Epic fantasy novella

Edgedancer

by Brandon Sanderson

Book 2.5 of the The Stormlight Archive series

Lift, a young Edgedancer who can turn food into magical power and make herself frictionless, travels through Roshar while avoiding the responsibilities attached to her oaths. Her pursuit of the deadly Herald Nale brings her to Yeddaw, where other budding Radiants are being hunted. Friendship with her spren Wyndle and concern for forgotten people force Lift to act even when running would be easier. Playful and unexpectedly poignant, this novella suits Stormlight readers who enjoy unconventional magic, comic heroines, street-level views of epic events, and courage expressed through remembering those others ignore.
