The Sunlit Man
Nomad is fleeing through the Cosmere when he becomes stranded on Canticle, a small world whose lethal sun forces entire societies to remain constantly in motion. Mistaken for a prophesied hero, he is drawn into defending refugees from a tyrant who controls the machines they need to survive. Nomad's unusual powers, concealed past, and inability to fight without consequence make escape a moral choice rather than a simple destination. Relentless and reflective, this science fantasy suits readers who enjoy hostile planets, mobile cities, mysterious veterans, and redemption pursued one impossible promise at a time.
