Cover for ‘Wind and Truth,’ Book 5 of ‘The Stormlight Archive,’ Revealed

The cover for the fifth book of “The Stormlight Archive,” titled “Wind and Truth,” has officially been revealed.

Tor Books released a reveal video for the cover early Thursday morning across social media. You can watch the reveal on X here:

The cover features a tall figure standing on some sort of platform, wearing the blue color and official crest of House Kholin. The man is holding a book with his hand outstretched, facing what looks like a raging lightning storm, possibly the Everstorm.

Fans have speculated online about whether the figure could be Dalinar, but the long blond hair has some suggesting it might be Adolin.

Brandon Sanderson finished “Wind and Truth” back in June, sharing the news on his official X account. “Finished the last interlude today at 5:21,” he wrote. “That is a wrap: Wind and Truth, Book five of the Stormlight Archive, is finished.”

“Wind and Truth” is set to be the fifth novel and the conclusion to the first half of “The Stormlight Archive.”

The Stormlight Archive is a high fantasy series by Sanderson that follows characters such as Kaladin, Dalinar, Shallan, and many others as they navigate the storm-rocked world of Roshar and battle an otherworldly threat.

The previously released books of “The Stormlight Archive” are:

• “The Way of Kings”
• “Words of Radiance”
• “Oathbringer”
• “Rhythm of War”

“The Stormlight Archive” is also set in Sanderson’s Cosmere, his own literary version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or DC Extended Universe. The Cosmere consists of more than 15 novels, multiple novellas, and several short stories.

The book is scheduled for release on Friday, Dec. 6, 2024. Preorders are available now in hardcover, audiobook, and ebook.
