The Way of Kings Playlist
These instrumentals pair the Shattered Plains’ exposed immensity and Roshar’s violent storms with more intimate passages for Kaladin’s endurance, Shallan’s search for knowledge, and Dalinar’s struggle to live by a demanding code. The three vocal songs turn toward the book’s themes of carrying burdens, finding solidarity, and persisting through darkness.
