From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson―creator of The Stormlight Archive, the Mistborn Saga, and countless bestselling works of science fiction and fantasy―comes this standalone novel showing a rare glimpse of a future Cosmere universe. Running. Putting distance between himself and the relentless Night Brigade has been Nomad’s strategy for years. Staying one or two steps ahead of his pursuers by skipping through the Cosmere from one world to the next. But now, his powers too depleted to escape, Nomad finds himself trapped on Canticle, a planet that will kill anyone who doesn’t keep moving. Fleeing the fires of a sunrise that melts the very stones, he is instantly caught up in the struggle between a heartless tyrant and the brave rebels who defy him. Failure means a quick death, incinerated by the sun… or a lifetime as a mindless slave. Tormented by the consequences of his past, Nomad must fight not only for his survival―but also for his very soul. Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music! Performed by Nick J. Russo, Torian Brackett, Wyn Delano, Taylor Coan, Elena Anderson, Stephanie Németh-Parker, Daniel Llaca, David Cui Cui, Yasmin Tuazon, Nanette Savard, Alexander Amado, Natalie Van Sistine, Chris Davenport, Christopher Walker, Shanta Parasuraman, Scott McCormick, Gabriel Michael, Eva Wilhelm, Colleen Delany, Kenneth Charles, Laura C.
