Summary
“I tried, Kaladin,” Amaram said, “I thanked you. I was going to give you a new life. But you couldn’t just take it, could you?”
Kaladin’s mouth was dry, “Take the Blade. But don’t hurt him—”
“Oh, I will take the Blade,” Amaram sneered, “But it’s not enough. The truth can’t get out. It must be believed that I killed the Shardbearer.”
“You can lie. Say whatever you want—”
“I’m sorry, but this is what happens when darkeyes forget their place.”
“NO!” Kaladin shouted.
Amaram raised a hand.
Two knives plunged into Adolin’s body.

When Adolin takes the fall for something he didn’t do, Dalinar sends him to serve anonymously in Amaram’s army.
There he meets Kaladin, his squadleader and new roommate. Adolin’s flirty, sunshine charm slowly breaks through Kaladin’s walls, and they eventually fall for each other.
Then, Amaram betrays them. He tries to kill Adolin and sells Kaladin into sexual slavery.
When Adolin finally finds Kaladin again, he’s broken. He doesn’t believe the man he once loved could be a prince.
But Adolin refuses to give up.

Summary
A rescue mission is undertaken when Renarin and Rlain are captured by the enemy.
It is only mostly successful.
At what point is the outcome not worth the cost?
……
“I find my inner scholar beckoning, and now that my plans have been thwarted, I have decided to indulge that part of myself. I have always been curious about a human’s tolerance for pain. About how much a human body can take before it fails. About how much a human mind can withstand before it snaps.”
El looks at Kaladin with a twisted smile.
Then he looks at Adolin, his eyes filled with a fathomless darkness.
“Even more,” he says slowly, “I wonder how deep human bonds go. I wonder if that bond can itself lead to madness.”
His smile turns sharp around the edges.
“How lucky I am, then, that two such perfect test subjects have fallen into my hands.”
