Szeth is a character appearing in 0 book series. Find the complete reading order for all books featuring Szeth below.
Szeth-son-son-Vallano, known as the Assassin in White, is one of the most complex and tragic characters in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series. A Shin man declared Truthless by his people, Szeth is bound by honor to obey whoever holds his Oathstone, no matter how terrible the commands. This leads him to assassinate King Gavilar Kholin in the series' prologue — the act that ignites the entire War of Reckoning. Szeth possesses a mysterious Honorblade that grants him Windrunner-like abilities, making him one of the deadliest fighters on Roshar. His internal torment — forced to kill while believing it deeply wrong — drives him to the brink of madness. In later books, Szeth bonds the sentient sword Nightblood and becomes a Skybreaker under Nale's guidance, seeking a rigid code of law to replace the moral framework his Truthless status stripped from him. His arc explores themes of obedience, guilt, and the search for redemption across all four published Stormlight books.
