Tras el descubrimiento de un barco fantasma, cuya tripulación al parecer murió intentando llegar a la isla de Akinah, rodeada por tormentas, Navani Kholin deberá enviar una expedición para asegurarse de que la isla no haya caído en manos enemigas. Los Caballeros Radiantes que vuelan demasiado cerca de Akinah se encuentran de pronto con su luz tormentosa drenada, por lo que la travesía debe realizarse por mar.
La naviera Rysn Ftori perdió el uso de las piernas, pero ganó la compañía de Chiri-Chiri, una larkin alada que se alimenta de luz tormentosa y pertenece a una especie que se creía extinta. La mascota de Rysn ha enfermado y la única esperanza de que Chiri-Chiri se recupere podría encontrarse en el hogar ancestral de los larkin, Akinah. Con la ayuda de Lopen, el Corredor del Viento que antes era manco, Rysn tendrá que aceptar el encargo de Navani y navegar hacia el interior de la peligrosa tormenta, de la que nadie ha vuelto con vida. Si su tripulación no logra desvelar los secretos de la isla oculta antes de que caiga sobre ellos la ira de sus antiguos guardianes, el destino de Roshar y de todo el Cosmere penderá de un hilo.
I've been re-reading The Stormlight Archive to prepare for the upcoming novel and had missed this one. It's quite fun and very intriguing on what it reveals, both for Roshar and the Cosmere.

Loved it. Spoilers are for all cosmere in this review.
1. Rysn is at the Third Heightening! (Or maybe fourth?)
2. Chiri-Chiri will become a full-sized larkin! Yay!
3. New Oathgate - interesting implications, but its gonna be pretty hard to transport armies via that, since the naval fleet isn't doing well.
4. I loved how Rysn's trading skills were put to use, both throughout and for the climax
5. Nikli is gonna be interesting to watch out for.
6. Wondering how the Sleepless communication works. Do they all have connected gemhearts?
7. Cord getting a shardplate is yay!
8. Rock was bearer of the Bow? For some ancient ritual. How come this has never come up before... And Cord mentions a pact that prevents Gods from hurting her.. interesting.
9. The Dawnshard was moved to Roshar via the Purelake. I'm guessing this was from either Yolen or Nalthis (given …

9. The Dawnshard was moved to Roshar via the Purelake. I'm guessing this was from either Yolen or Nalthis (given the effects of the Dawnshard on Rysn)
10. Someone get Rushu next to Khriss please.
11. I liked Rysn's portrayal with her disability and I think Brandon handled it pretty well, giving her viewpoint proper care.
12. I hadn't realized that the voidlight radiant was a Lightweaver.
13. The ship fabrials sounded amazing (weight-stabilizers built inside the hull, and the automatic pumps for keeping water off the deck). Wonder how they were charging the gems for those.
14. I love when obvious solutions are used/accounted for old problems. Like Lopen suggesting he could just fly more grain. Or Lopen sticking the captain's foot to the Deck.
15. I figured out the Mandra/luckspren bonding with Chiri Chiri connect before Nikli explained it - so nicely foreshadowed.
What I didn't like, or could have been done better:
1. The sailors. Their characters fell a bit flat, mostly due to a lack of screen time. 3 died, and we didn't even get their names
2. No Hoid (I think). I needed more Yalb.
3. The fake gems. Aimians could surely have done gotten real ones, no?
