Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sandersonin Usvasyntyinen-saaga jatkuu Wax & Wayne -sarjan neljännessä kirjassa, joka vie lukijan takaisin bestsellertrilogiassa alkaneiden poliittisten ja murhanhimoisten juonittelujen, metallitaikuuden ja veijarimaisen konnailun pariin. Ensimmäisen trilogian tapahtumista on kulunut kolmesataa vuotta, ja Waxiwillium Ladrian on jo kauan taistellut hämäräperäisiä Puhdistajia vastaan. Nyt Elendel on ajautumassa poliittiseen konfliktiin ulkokaupunkien kanssa, ja pian selviää, että Puhdistajien lonkerot ulottuvat jopa sen senaattiin. Lisäksi Puhdistajilla on hallussaan uudenlainen, ennennäkemätöntä tuhoa aiheuttava räjähde. Kun Scadrialin jumalaa Harmoniaa palveleva kandra paljastaa, että ulkokaupunki Bilming on siirtynyt palvomaan toista jumalaa, Wax on vaikean valinnan edessä. Onko hän valmis olemaan taas se sankari, jota Scadrial ja maailma tarvitsevat tuholta pelastuakseen? Usvasyntyinen-trilogian myyttien ja legendojen sankarien tarinaa jatkavat särmikkäät allomantikot Wax ja Wayne. Brandon Sanderson (s. 1975) on yksi maailman tunnetummista fantasiakirjailijoista.

Spanning the genres of fantasy and science fiction, this collection features stories from beyond the bounds of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe. Along with the never-before-seen novella 'Moment Zero', Tailored Realities will include 'Snapshot', 'Perfect State', 'Defending Elysium' (a novella set within the world of Skyward), and five other stories that were originally published individually elsewhere - never before collected into one volume, and many never before available in print. The collection will also include a stunning black-and-white illustration for each story.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes the first book in a new, high-flying trilogy featuring the legendary Skyward Flight as they undertake a deadly intergalactic mission to explore a mysterious alien world. The special first edition of Blightfall will feature stunning sprayed edges and exclusive patterned endpapers After decades of war against alien oppressors, the humans of the Defiant Defense Force are finally free. Yet for Arturo Mendez, leader of Skyward Flight, freedom isn't what he thought it would be. His first postwar assignment seems simple: The DDF has found evidence of other settlements of humans who were isolated during their long war against the aliens, and Arturo and his flight of pilots are to escort a team of diplomats as they attempt to make contact. It's an easy mission--get in, guard the diplomats, and get out. But no element of this mission turns out to be simple. Blightfall is inhospitable, surrounded by mysterious debris and covered in giant, invasive forests that have swallowed most of the planet. Upon arrival, Arturo's team is attacked, and it quickly becomes clear that this human settlement isn't what it appears to be. Now trapped in an unfamiliar world and unsure who to trust, Arturo and his team must find allies and uncover long-buried secrets if they hope to escape and return home.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In 2005, Brandon Sanderson debuted with Elantris, an epic fantasy unlike any other then on the market. To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, the B de Bolsillo imprint is reissuing Elantris in a special edition with sprayed edges, offering a fresh chance to introduce it to the myriad readers who have since become Sanderson fans. "The most beautiful fantasy novel written in many years". --Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game. Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all. Yet each of these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of the Shaod. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened, leper-like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself dark, filthy, and crumbling. Arelon's new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Princess Sarene of Teod arrives for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden, hoping -- based on their correspondence -- to also find love. She finds instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow. Both Teod and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. So Sarene decides to use her new status to counter the machinations of Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to Kae to convert Arelon and claim it for his emperor and his god. But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspect the truth about Prince Raoden. Stricken by the same curse that ruined Elantris, Raoden was secretly exiled by his father to the dark city. His struggle to help the wretches trapped there begins a series of events that will bring hope to Arelon, and perhaps reveal the secret of Elantris itself. A rare epic fantasy that doesn't recycle the classics and that is a complete and satisfying story in one volume, Elantris is fleet and fun, full of surprises and characters to care about. It's also the wonderful debut of a welcome new star in the constellation of fantasy.

From the author of the connected universe of the Cosmere comes the standalone novel from which spring characters who later play roles in the #1 New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive. In the world of Warbreaker, each person is born endowed with the power of one Breath-which can be sold and collected by others, then used to Awaken objects and even corpses to do their bidding. A few individuals who die in glory return as gods, with the power of thousands of Breath, but no memory of their mortal lives-and are enthroned in the Court of Gods in Hallandren's capital. To Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris, the abuse of Breath and the claim of the Returned to be gods are repugnant blasphemy. But with one princess wed to the God King of their nation's enemies in a bid for peace, the other finds she must rely on Breath-using mercenaries to try to rescue her sister from her monstrous husband. Lightsong the Bold, a lesser god who doubts his own religion, starts investigating mysterious murders in the Court of Gods and uncovers haunting clues to his own forgotten past. He is one of four gods who controls the army of Awakened Lifeless soldiers, and one faction is inciting an invasion of Idris despite the marriage treaty. Vasher-wielder of the sapient sword Nightblood-works behind the scenes against the declaration of war, but Lightsong's visions of bloodshed prophesy its inevitability. Can the new queen, unaware of her sister's imminent rescue attempt, persuade Lightsong and also somehow get through to the aloof God King-who she has been forbidden to speak to or even look in the eyes-before her homeland is destroyed?

Neliosainen Wax & Wayne -sarja vie takaisin bestsellertrilogiassa Usvasyntyinen alkaneiden poliittisten ja murhanhimoisten juonittelujen, metallitaikuuden, veijarimaisen konnailun ja lopun aikojen uhkaa huokuvaan Scadrialiin.

Vauhdikkaaseen seikkailuun tempautuvalle Waxille alkaa pian paljastua myös muita salaisuuksia, joihin liittyvät hänen setänsä Edwarn ja eräs hämäräperäinen järjestö.
