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 doesnt like his job, and the immortal whos 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 Hallandrens 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.

In this full-cast production, the King of Idris must relinquish his daughter, Siri, to the God King of Hallandren, a "living-dead" monarch. But the sacrifice becomes the tipping point in what may well lead to all-out war. Meanwhile, Siri's sister, Vivenna, risks her life and compromises her morals to protect Siri. This first book of the Warbreaker trilogy contains a good mixture of explanation, exploration, and action, all of which is colored wonderfully by the voice actors, sound effects, and musical score. In particular, this world's magic--biochrome--which deals with a mixture of life-breaths and color, is aurally created with just-right sounds of wind chimes and light breathing.
