Tress of the Emerald Sea
A Cosmere Novel
A window-washer leaves her island to rescue the boy she loves, crossing seas of spore that kill on contact. Princess Bride by way of the Cosmere.
The first of the four novels Sanderson wrote in secret during the pandemic and then Kickstarted to record-breaking effect. Tress washes windows on an island she has never left, until the boy she loves is taken by the Sorceress, and she goes after him across seas of spore that kill anything they touch. Narrated with a wink by a familiar Cosmere voice, it is Sanderson doing The Princess Bride: a fairy tale that knows it is one, and is genuinely funny about it.
