She lives with Ashir on a small Reshi island, where she spends her time studying spren. Behold the Cover to Rhythm of War, the Fourth Book in Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive".

Szeth, a "Truthless" (a Shin man cast out by his people and condemned to do the bidding of whoever holds his Oathstone, except the taking of his own life or giving up his Blade), is sent to murder Gavilar Kholin, King of one of Roshar's most powerful nations, Alethkar, whose people are called Alethi.
