Warbreaker

Warbreaker tells the story of two sisters who are princesses; the God King one of them must marry; the lesser god who does not like his job; and an immortal who is 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 Hallandren's capital city, and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence called breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.

By using breath and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron, the God King; Lightsong, the reluctant god of bravery; and the mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.
