About Brandon Sanderson
I'm Brandon Sanderson, and I write stories of the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, and thrillers.
In November 2020 we saw the release of Rhythm of War—the fourth massive book in the New York Times #1 bestselling Stormlight Archive series that began with The Way of Kings—and Dawnshard (book 3.5), a novella set in the same world that bridges the gaps between the main releases. This series is my love letter to the epic fantasy genre, and it's the type of story I always dreamed epic fantasy could be.
November 2018 marked the release of Skyward, the first book in a new YA quartet about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world under alien attack. The follow-up, Starsight, was released December 2019. Also out that year was the final volume of the Stephen Leeds saga, Legion: Lies of the Beholder, which was also published in an omnibus edition, Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds, that includes all three volumes.
Most readers have noticed that my adult fantasy novels are in a connected universe, called the Cosmere. This includes The Stormlight Archive, both Mistborn series, Elantris, Warbreaker, and various novellas available on Amazon, including The Emperor's Soul, which won a Hugo Award in 2013. In November 2016 all of the existing Cosmere short fiction including those novellas was released in one volume called Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection. If you've read all of my adult fantasy novels and want to see some behind-the-scenes information, that collection is a must-read.
I also have three YA series: The Rithmatist (currently at one book), The Reckoners (a trilogy beginning with Steelheart), and Skyward. For young readers I also have my humorous series Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. Many of my adult readers enjoy all of those books as well, and many of my YA readers enjoy my adult books, usually starting with Mistborn.
Additionally, I have a few other novellas that are more on the thriller/sci-fi side. These include the Legion series, as well as Perfect State and Snapshot. There's a lot of material to go around!
Good starting places are Mistborn (a.k.a. The Final Empire), Skyward, Steelheart, The Emperor's Soul, and Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. If you're already a fan of big fat fantasies, you can jump right into The Way of Kings.
I was also honored to be able to complete the final three volumes of The Wheel of Time, beginning with The Gathering Storm, using Robert Jordan's notes.

Blog postSome FAQs You Might Enjoy Hey, all. It has been, to say the least, a wild two weeks for me. After seeing some of the discourse around what is going on with the Kickstarter, I thought you all might enjoy it if I answered a few questions I’ve been getting. (Or ones I’ve been seeing people pontificate about.) Consider this a kind of halfway point retrospective.
This got long, because it’s…well, me. So I created two versions. The short version, which y4 months ago Read more -

Blog postThe Lost Metal Weekly Update Hey! Brandon here with your Weekly Update. Not a whole lot to talk about this week, just I’ve been plugging away at Wax and Wayne 4, The Lost Metal. I am, bing!, right at 70%, and I am ready for the home stretch to finish this thing off. I’m very pleased with the book but there’s still a lot to do. I’m going to have to do this revision, and then there’s going to be one more that’s the final polish once this goes to the line editor. So we’re

Blog postUpdate on The Lost Metal Brandon here with your Weekly Update. I have been working hard on Wax and Wayne 4, The Lost Metal. I dedicated a lot of time to it last week and I am at, bing!, 60%, just under the 2/3 mark on that one. I will cross the 2/3 mark next week and be pushing towards the end pretty quickly next week. Which is really good because I need to be getting to Stormlight. Fortunately, I have—in my schedule there’s a little bit of wiggle room. And so even thou

Titles By Brandon Sanderson
Ce court texte, l’un des préférés de son auteur, aborde des questions complexes et fascinantes, telles que la nature du temps, les mystères de l’esprit humain, le potentiel de la technologie…
Alcatraz Smedry n'est pas aidé par la nature : son nom est ridicule, il est extrêmement maladroit et il est orphelin. Mais le jour de son treizième anniversaire, sa vie prend une tournure inattendue. Il reçoit un mystérieux sac de sable, découvre qu'il a un grand-père un peu dingue et qu'il doit partir avec lui pour sauver le monde des griffes des infâmes Bibliothécaires... Partez à l’aventure avec Alcatraz et ses acolytes : sa cousine Australie, dont le talent est de se réveiller avec une tête de déterrée ; son oncle Kazan, dont le pouvoir est de se perdre ; son cousin Folsom, dont le talent est de danser comme un pied ; l’indomptable Bastille et bien d’autres.
Entrez dans l’imagination débridée de Brandon Sanderson avec les quatre tomes de la série jubilatoire, Alcatraz, réunis en un livre. Humour et rebondissements garantis du début à la fin !
La jeune Shai a été arrêtée alors qu’elle tentait de voler le Sceptre de Lune de l’Empereur. Mais au lieu d’être exécutée, ses geôliers concluent avec elle un marché : l’Empereur, resté inconscient après une tentative d’assassinat ratée, a besoin d’une nouvelle âme. Or, Shai est une jeune Forgeuse, une étrangère qui possède la capacité magique de modifier le passé d’un objet, et donc d’altérer le présent. Le destin de l’Empire repose sur une tâche impossible : comment forger le simulacre d’une âme qui serait meilleur que l’âme elle-même ? Shai doit agir vite si elle veut échapper au complot néfaste de ceux qui l’ont capturée.
« Un système de magie très inventif au service d’une histoire captivante » Library Journal
Le quatrième et ultime tome de l’hilarante série d’Alcatraz ! Alcatraz Smedry, celui qui a le Talent Brise-Tout, a encore beaucoup à prouver mais peu de temps devant lui. Dans cette dernière aventure, il affronte une armée de Bibliothécaires – et leurs robots géants – afin de conquérir le royaume de Mokia. Si les Bibliothécaires remportent le combat, tout ce qu’Alcatraz a accompli si ardemment jusqu’ici pourrait aboutir à une catastrophe. Alcatraz doit ainsi faire face aux robots, aux infâmes Bibliothécaires et à sa propre mère ! Sera-t-il capable de sauver le royaume de Mokia et les Royaumes Libres de la colère des Bibliothécaires avant que tout ne tombe en miettes ? Humour et rebondissements garantis jusqu’à la dernière page !
Flanqué de sa cousine, Australie (dont le talent est de se réveiller avec une tête de déterrée), de son oncle Kazan (dont le pouvoir est de se perdre) et de l’indomptable Bastille, Alcatraz part à la recherche de son père qui aurait disparu dans la terrible bibliothèque d’Alexandrie. Mais il ne fait pas bon s’y promener car les conservateurs qui y travaillent n’attendent qu’une chose : s’emparer de l’âme des curieux qui veulent emprunter leurs livres… Un deuxième tome encore plus délirant que le premier !
Alcatraz est un type super, génial même. En tout cas, c’est ce que tout le monde lui répète depuis qu’il est arrivé à Nalhalla, la grande cité des Royaumes Libres. Mais peut-il faire confiance à ses hordes d’admirateurs ? Surtout que Nalhalla grouille d’infâmes bibliothécaires dont le but serait de sceller la paix entre les camps ennemis. Sont-ils sincères ou s’agit-il un double jeu ? Alcatraz a du pain sur la planche, d’autant que son père l’ignore toujours, que Bastille n’est plus que l’ombre d’elle-même et que son cousin Folsom (dont le talent est de danser comme un pied) est suivi de près par une soi-disant ex-bibliothécaire… Une action au rythme soutenu ainsi qu’un dénouement malin et inattendu vous attendent dans ce troisième tome des aventures d’Alcatraz.
The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!
The Eye of the World, the first novel in Robert Jordan's #1 New York Times bestselling epic fantasy series, The Wheel of Time®, follows Moiraine Damodred as she arrives in Emond's Field on a quest to find the one prophesized to stand against The Dark One.
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the Two Rivers seeking their master’s enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al’Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.
