  From Brandon Sanderson—author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive and its fourth massive installment, Rhythm of War—comes a new hefty novella, Dawnshard. Taking place between Oathbringer and Rhythm  
  of War, this newest story (like Edgedancer before it) takes a deeper look at several characters in the saga, and brings them to the forefront. 
   
  When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn’t fallen into enemy hands. Knights Radiant who fly too near  
  find their Stormlight suddenly drained, so the voyage must be by sea. 
   
  Shipowner Rysn Ftori lost the use of her legs but gained the companionship of Chiri-Chiri, a Stormlight-ingesting winged larkin, a species once thought extinct.  
   
  Now Rysn’s pet is ill, and any hope for Chiri-Chiri’s recovery can be found only at the ancestral home of the larkin: Akinah. With the help of Lopen, the formerly one-armed Windrunner, Rysn must accept Navani’s quest and sail into the  
  perilous storm from which no one has returned alive. If the crew cannot uncover the secrets of the hidden island city before the wrath of its ancient guardians falls upon them, the fate of Roshar and the entire Cosmere hangs in the balance.

  The Kreutzer Sonata

  Leo Tolstoy

  The Kreutzer Sonata is one of Leo Tolstoy's most provocative and psychologically intense works—a searing exploration of love, marriage, jealousy, and the darker currents of human passion. First published in 1889, this controversial novella shocked readers with its uncompromising examination of relationships between men and women and its bold critique of societal norms surrounding marriage and sexuality.
  
  The story unfolds during a tense conversation aboard a train, where passengers engage in a debate about love and matrimony. Among them is Pozdnyshev, a tormented man who ultimately confesses to murdering his wife. Through his gripping and unsettling monologue, Pozdnyshev recounts the emotional unraveling of his marriage, exposing the jealousy, suspicion, and possessiveness that consumed him. Central to the tragedy is Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, whose passionate music becomes a powerful symbol of desire, temptation, and destructive emotion.
  
  Tolstoy uses this deeply personal confession to challenge conventional romantic ideals. He questions whether marriage, as practiced in society, fosters genuine love or merely disguises lust, ownership, and moral hypocrisy. With intense psychological insight, Tolstoy delves into themes of sexual morality, gender inequality, and the spiritual emptiness he believed plagued modern relationships. The result is a narrative that is both intimate and philosophical, forcing readers to confront uncomfortable truths about intimacy and human nature.
  
  More than a story of crime, The Kreutzer Sonata is a moral inquiry and a social critique. Tolstoy's sharp prose and penetrating analysis create a work that is both disturbing and profoundly thought-provoking. The novella sparked widespread debate upon its release and remains a powerful and relevant examination of love, jealousy, and the fragile line between passion and violence.
  
  Dark, challenging, and unforgettable, The Kreutzer Sonata stands as a testament to Tolstoy's fearless exploration of the human soul and his relentless search for moral truth.
