Infinity Blade: Awakening

Infinity Blade: Awakening, the new iBook by #1 New York Times selling author Brandon Sanderson

Trained from birth in swordplay and combat, a young knight named Siris has journeyed to the Dark Citadel with a single purpose: fight through the army of Titans to face the tyrannical God King in one-on-one combat. This was his father’s sacred mission, and his father’s before him, going back countless generations in an effort to free their people from enslavement.

But when Siris somehow succeeds where all those from his bloodline previously have failed, he finds himself cast into a much larger world, filled with warriors and thieves, ancient feuds and shifting alliances, Deathless immortals and would-be kings. His quest for freedom will take him on an epic journey in search of the mythical figure known as the Worker of Secrets – the one being in the world who can unravel the secrets of the Infinity Blade.

Based on the bestselling video game from ChAIR Entertainment and Epic Games, this all-new adventure from acclaimed fantasy author Brandon Sanderson digs deeper into the fantastical world of Infinity Blade, a world of mystery and intrigue where magic and technology are indistinguishable, and even life and death are not what they seem.

The “Infinity Blade: Awakening” novella is available now for $2.99 via Apple iBookstore^®, Amazon.com^® Kindle, and Barnes & Noble NOOK^™. You can also download a free preview HERE.

So where does Awakening lie in the IF continuum? Does it bridge the gap between IF1 and IF2, or is it mainly a novelization of IF2?
- Guest
  
  I’m pretty sure that the book starts where infinity blade 2 starts but where the book stops the game keeps going
  - The other guest
    
    No it actually fills in the gap between infinity blade 1 and infinity blade 2
- gingervolcano
  
  it ends shortly after IF1, and ends shortly after IF2 starts, so yes, it bridges the gap
Mitchell Fontenot

@Sachin Doshie according to Sanderson’s website, it’s a bridge between IF1 and IF2.

will it work on IP4?
- Rio Haugauna
  
  the game will work on the ip4 but the graphics won’t be as good as the ipad2 or the ip4s because the ip4 runs a A-4 processer while the ipad2 and the ip4s runs a A-5 dual core processer.

AWESOME! A second weapon style (Dual Wielding.) I hope that Sword and Shield comes back, as well as Two Handed Weapons join the mix. THAT would be the PERFECT game for iPad to me. But the fact that there’s two weapon style is just awesome as is! Can’t wait to get this!

It could be a bridge between IB1 and IB2, but it could also happen anytime after defeating the God King in IB1. The reason is they STILL move to a new bloodline after defeating him,
implying he might not have died, only left. Also, that would explain why the God King gets stronger every time you fight him again.
- J_a_smith5
  
  it is a bridge between IB1 and IB2 thats why you should play IB1 then read the book then get IB2
HuskyPride

So the hero we controled is a half god(physically) half human(mentally) Deathless who wants to save the world from the hands of Sauron(God-King) lol
I want to see Isa again in the game or in the book.
TEL is such a loyalty servant.
- Charizard_arceus
  
  Isn’t god king called raidriar?
  - Guest
    
    Yeah
- Asdfslkdf294
  
  LOL Where did Sauron come from, he’s called Raidriar!
  - ResidentHobo
    
    LOL anyone else wonder if Sauron could woop Saidrars bottom? Or viceversa….

I think they should make a real printed copy to digital is a fin and dandy but it would be nice to have it
Robert Dargis, Jr

So why is it not in the NOOK store when every press release on the internet says it should be?

  Are you fucking kidding me? Spoiler alert, dude.
- Guest
  
  If u play the game it would be a spoiler because u would find out Siris is Ausar. I have learned that lesson.
Astro016

Cannot wait for the next one!!!! Story can’t end yet….
Jeffwhiskey

What a great story, I hope to see this tie into the game and of coarse would love to read part 2.

This was the first book I purchased through the iBook store and i’m curios if thier are any other first timer iBook buyers?
- Daniel_hughes89
  
  I am a first time buyer as well, thanks to the little button in the game and a great sample of the book.
- J_a_smith5
  
  im also a first time buyer and thought the book was great. cant wait for the next game
- Nirodimos
  
  I am a first time iBook buyer
- Chase1234

- CodEman5533
  
  This is my first buy in iBooks too 5/5
Hatechiblet

thanks chiblet, im so happy some a**hole told me the ending.
Daniel_hughes89

I read the book in iBooks in about a week or less and enjoyed it thoroughly. I loved the game Infinity Blade and am definitely buying the sequel when it is released, but this book was so intriguing, deep and humorous that it far exceeded any other story I’ve read based on a video game or movie. This novel masterfully switches between drama, suspense, action and humor in a refreshingly bright story to bring the tale of the Infinity Blade to new life. Sequel please!!!
Rio haugauna

it will work on ipad 2 and on the iphone 4s because the ipad 2 and the iphone 4s run A-5 dual core chip. The game will work on the iphone 4 but the graphics won’t be as good as the ipad 2 or the 4s
Turkeydipking

Awesome book!
Interesting story…. Really makes me want to get IF2!
Good job, sequel please?
1997skye

Oh. My. God. Read the book in a matter of hours. AMAZING. Love the game, and the storyline for both is taking some very intriguing turns. Ida is my HERO!

Oh, did I mention I happen to be fourteen? No? Well, there you have it.

  Yes pretty good read very light and entertaining
- Jmacholt
  
  I’m 14 too, and I loved the book.
- ResidentHobo
  
  Troll I’m only twelve years old and i read this book out when I was lying in mah bed. I started reading in mah bed. Same night. But it’s really a shame the book isn’t longer, and that there aint a second book. Someone should make one. Yeah. (((d(-.-)b))) Have u guys read the Wheel of Time series? You really should. yeah….. baws
  - Archer Th1nk3r
    
    I’m 14 too, and I finished IB: Awakening in like 2 hours. Dude, I really want to read the Wheel of Time series! They sound really good. You should read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. They are also published by TOR FANTASY. Amazing books. There’s a TV show based on the books, but the TV storyline doesn’t match the books’ awesomeness! Try them out. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS SERIES! If you liked IB: Awakening with it having secrets being revealed and pretty much flawless plot, read the Sword of Truth series.
    
    Anyway, I hope Brandon Sanderson will write a sequel to IB: Awakening!
    - Radriar
      
      Same here bro! IB seems to fit with our generation! The “sequal” is the game and you even get to see TEL in the latest update!

Good read and now that I’m playing infinity blade 2 I see the tie ins. Heck the end of the book is…… You’ll see.
Holding Cory

They should make like a three part film in 3D, be brilliant!=)
Xanj

just read the book wish the game was on something besides iphone though, i refuse to buy a apple product
Harra

I cant understand how Siris didn’t realize he was an inmortal. If you suppose in the first game you are controlling his son, did he got married? How did he trained himself with the sword since childhood if in Infinity Blade 2 he awakens in a strange place but grown up?!?! That doesn’t make any sense, how did he really believed he was his son????
- Gingervolcano
  
  it’s a confusing book. try to read it in depth, especially when he’s talking to TEL near the end
- Fallbackorchid
  
  He was reborn as a child each time since his brain wasn’t developed he had no memory of his past life and he wakes up as an adult because Isa brought him to the rebirth not TEL who was given the orders from siris himself when he was a deathless to be reborn as an infant I can’t explain it all but it’s not that complicated sounds like you just skimmed through it

Loved the game and the book, please don’t make a film out of either.
Cristian1209

Played both games read this book and i tell you this now i can see bright things for this deathless franchise
Samdrapp

I have to say, mr. Sanderson, this is by far the best adaption from a game I have yet read, and I hope that you can continue with epic games. I especially like the development of Siris as a thinking character, use of his lack of life experience and interaction with Isa. You have done a great job and I admire your work. I also l like the joke about two penis
Shadster2009

Great book
Dx

This leaves so much room for another book Isa plays an amazing role that isn’t shown in II

Brandon if u read these play II finish write another book that’s ur job til it’s done! ^_^
Miniforti

Trcexcel

I really enjoyed it. Great job on the story!
Trb5555

A very nice game very nice story line and the book is just amazing but there needs to be a little more detail to the battles.
Jacob Montano

There should be a film. But the sequel to the book I’m waiting for
MegaBookReader

amazing book, but this should be a series; please add more books, it would be awesome, like how the goes up to the battle to kill thane in the game, that should be the second book.
Jmoorejacobmoore

This book was awesome. I can’t wait to find out the rest of the story.
Sethrandall99

Stephenquinn21

C Nerau

Narobert

Npetrosino

They are making a game called infinity blade dungeons about when siris was ruling as ausar
- PerspicuousLoris
  
  WRONG Its about the forging of the infinity blade, hence the hammer instead of the sword as the logo
PerspicuousLoris

Great novella but it would be great if you wrote a full length IB novel as well
Emil Friis

Is there going to be follower to this, I refer to its ending being open and good not spoiling anything. If you haven’t read the book yet, then read it. It’s really good.
XHugo

What an amazing book, anyone know when the next part releases?
NoahM

really good looking forward to the sequel
Ausar

A little short, but ok I guess. Mabey if there was a third game?
Smeagol

Infinity blade dungeons is taking forever to come out
