Brandon Sanderson Collection (Arcanum Unbounded, Elantris & Warbreaker)

Brandon Sanderson’s collection features three remarkable tales that intertwine the elements of magic, politics, and the human experience, each set in uniquely crafted worlds. This compilation includes Arcanum Unbounded, Elantris, and Warbreaker, showcasing Sanderson's masterful storytelling and intricate world-building.

The Plot

In Elantris, readers are introduced to a once-great city now fallen into decay, where the afflicted suffer from a curse that transforms their very nature. The narrative follows the plight of a princess and her betrothed as they navigate the treacherous waters of politics and power in a land steeped in magic and betrayal.

Warbreaker presents a riveting tale of two sisters, one a reluctant princess and the other a powerful goddess, as they are drawn into a web of intrigue, love, and the complexities of duty. The vibrant use of colour and the concept of 'Breath' as a magic system add layers of depth to the story.

Arcanum Unbounded serves as a collection of novellas and short stories that expand upon Sanderson's expansive Cosmere universe, offering insights into the lore and history that underpins his larger works, such as The Stormlight Archive.
