brandon sanderson just teased his next epic series and here are 5 explosive details you need to know
- The new series will be a standalone epic fantasy saga, completely separate from the Cosmere universe, marking the first time Sanderson has fully stepped away from his iconic shared world in over a decade.
- Sanderson hinted the story revolves around a "broken magic system" where every spell cast literally costs the caster a memory, creating a devastating emotional core that could eclipse even Kaladin's journey.
- He revealed an ambitious publishing plan: the entire trilogy will be written and released in just 18 months, with no wait times between books, following the "Sanderson Avalanche" fan-service model.
- Early concept art shows a world where cities float on massive, living stone beasts, and Sanderson promised this setting will challenge readers' assumptions about fantasy worldbuilding.
- A surprise tie-in with a major video game studio is reportedly in negotiations, with Sanderson stating he wants "to create a Mistborn-level game, not a cash grab."
