This is the north proper, the very knife edge of civilization. Here monsters stalk the night and outlaws gather. It is a land of singular wonders and crushing horror... All Blacknail the goblin ever wanted was to live a peaceful life in his sewer home, and eat as much as he could shove in his mouth when no one was looking. He certainly never asked to be captured and whisked away to the far off Iron Teeth Mountains. Among the monster filled forests and snow peaked mountains of the North he will grow into something far more than a simple goblin. As the world around him slides into ruin Blacknail will fight to survive, and learn to live with the men and women of the North. However, first he has to get over his crippling fear of trees, and survive in a place where everything considers him to be the perfect size for a quick snack...

'It's dark in the tombs, the air is thick with static and storm threatening the occupants with each labored breath. Golden eyes lock with icy blue hues, an unstated challenge between the two Gods. Anubis raised his inked back; a thick black oil leaking from the cracked skin as he snarls and snaps sharpening canines. "You betrayed me!" He roars. "And what would you have me do?! Deny a head God?!" The blue eyed God bellows, blackened ink dripping from shredded lips. The human shell is so easy to break and give way beneath a God's true form.' We Were Gods is a book about a young man named Oleander who finds out he is a God. The only problem is he just wants to be a normal mortal, especially since all Gods and Goddesses from every religion are expected to work in the Death Justice System. Not only that but his brother is set on destroying Oleander and his friends from a war that started back when they were just young Gods. Journey with Oleander and his new found friends to discover the inner workings of Gods, the secrets of their past lives, and finishing a war that is threatening all of mankind.

After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, Elantris, and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today’s leading master of what Tolkien called “secondary creation,” the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.
