Best known for his Cosmere sequence of interconnected series,
Brandon Sanderson’s first publication was Elantris (2005)
which was followed in 2006 by Mistborn: The Final Empire, the
first volume of the popular Mistborn Trilogy. Robert Jordan’s
widow Harriet McDougal Rigney chose Sanderson to complete the epic
Wheel of Time series. The final volume was
published as three separated books: The Gathering Storm
(2009), Towers Of Midnight (2010), and A Memory of
Light (2013).

Other aspects of the
Cosmere include Wax and Wayne (The
Alloy of Law [2011], Shadows Of Self [2015],
The Bands of Mourning [2016]), The Stormlight
Archive (The Way of Kings [2010], Words
of Radiance [2014]), Warbreaker (2009),
Oathbringer (2017), and
the graphic novels White Sand Parts One (2016) and Two
(2018, both with Rik Hoskin and art by Julius Gopez). Many of
Sanderson’s numerous short Cosmere works including the Hugo
Award-winning THE EMPEROR’S SOUL (2012), were collected in Arcanum
Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection (2016).
