About this listen

 AN EPIC STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE NOVELLA FROM THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON BEHIND THE COSMERE

Three years ago, Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older--a wish she believed was granted.

Now, in Edgedancer, the barely teenage nascent Knight Radiant finds that time stands still for no one. Although the young Azish emperor granted her safe haven from an executioner she knows only as Darkness, court life is suffocating the free-spirited Lift, who can't help heading to Yeddaw when she hears the relentless Darkness is there hunting people like her with budding powers.

The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility.

Brilliant little short story, definitely worth it's credit. If you love the Stormlight Archive, then it's well worth a read and though not mandatory reading for the story itself.
Still an excellent read and serves it's purpose of filling in gaps and giving lift some more much deserved screen time! and it does that well!

Worth it's credit!

The title is the best compliment I can give. I'm always wary of novellas, as sometimes the can feel like padding, or just an authors author's indulgence.

Not here. Really good.

Thanks again Mr Sanderson.

Excellent. Lives up to the main series.
