On December 6, 2024, Brandon Sanderson’s epic Stormlight Archive fantasy series will continue with Wind and Truth, the concluding volume of the first major arc of this ten-book series. A defining pillar of Sanderson’s “Cosmere” fantasy book universe, this newest installment of The Stormlight Archive promises huge developments for the world of Roshar, the struggles of the Knights Radiant (and friends!), and for the Cosmere at large.
And you can start reading it four months early!
Starting on Monday, July 29, Reactor Magazine will serialize Wind and Truth, posting a chapter or three each Monday at 11 AM ET, all the way up to the book’s release in December. Keep up with the collected chapters on the Wind and Truth page here.
In addition, Stormlight beta readers Lyndsey Luther, Drew McCaffrey, and Paige Vest will be here every Monday to dig into the new details and implications of each new chapter. Keep track of their Wind and Truth Read-along here.
And that’s it! You don’t have to sign up for anything. You don’t have to circumvent any paywalls. You don’t have to turn off your ad blocker. The chapters will just be here for you to read and enjoy and discuss.

Back when we were Tor.com, we got into the tradition of serializing the Stormlight Archive series, starting with the very first book The Way of Kings, (all of it still here, by the way!) and we’re excited to be working with Dragonsteel Entertainment to continue that tradition with Wind and Truth. A lot has changed since then, but getting to read a new Stormlight with the Tor.com-now-Reactor commenters and readers… well, it feels like coming home.
