About this listen

Welcome to New York Times and Sunday Times best seller Brandon Sanderson's first collection of short fiction.

These wonderful works, originally published individually, have been collected for the first time and convey the true expanse of the Cosmere. Telling the exciting tales of adventure Sanderson fans have come to expect, Arcanum Unbounded includes the Hugo Award-winning novella The Emperor's Soul and the never-before-published Stormlight Archive novella Edgedancer.

The collection includes nine works in all:

  • Edgedancer (Stormlight Archive)
  • 'The Hope of Elantris' (Elantris)
  • 'The Eleventh Metal' (Mistborn)
  • The Emperor's Soul (Elantris)
  • 'Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania' (excerpt, Mistborn)
  • 'Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell' (Threnody)
  • 'Sixth of Dusk' (First of the Sun)
  • 'Mistborn: Secret History' (Mistborn)

This superb collection also includes essays which offer insight into the numerous worlds in which the stories are set.

We know the Cosmere is connected, and this is a great framework outlining the beginnings of how. There are still lots of mysteries to discover in future stories, so lots to look forward to. In this book, we hear snippets from worlds we haven't seen before and get short stories from ones we know and love, which really help piece everything together and give some good hints. Second time I'm listening through this and it's better than the first. I created an order of chapters and stories that really helped me as they are not in the order in the description. I would so have loved for Wayne and Lift to have met! It would have been complete and beautiful chaos!
