Conspiracy time! I'll toss in my few guesses, based on ways I think book 5 can seemingly go at its end, making way for the second set of 5 SA books to round out the 10 planned. Kin of Wills/Worlds (Odium loses, assumes peace is made with an alliance between all Rosharans, maybe making contact with another shardworld in the process. As an in-world book, maybe it would be a collaboration between spren, scholars, and worldsingers to document all of Roshar, or perhaps from the perspective of a sympathetic worldhopper, wanting to share all they've witnessed in the recent Rosharan events) Kindling/Key of Worlds (introducing a Dawnshard hunt for the next half, maybe hinting at interplanetary travel or finding a breakthrough in worldhopping. As an in-world book, lore about the Shattering, Adonalsium, the Dawnshards, or a true history of Roshar from the perspective of the Ashyn refugees who first came to it, maybe kept hidden by the Shin elders? This is the most likely/promising imo, since we have a lot of stuff pushing SA into a wider cosmere narrative with RoW, and these broader concepts and powers will probably be big movers of the second half of SA, especially as investiture and realmatic theory can become culturally mainstream and experimented with) Kingdom of Watchers (Odium "loses", retreating on purpose to bide time and plan, and the Radiants have 1000 years to prepare and progress before the second half. As an in-world book, it would serve as a sort of "new history" of the Radiants, written down as they solidify, train, and ready themselves for when they'll next need to defend their world from the forces that be.)
