The Emperor’s Soul
A condemned art forger has a hundred days to counterfeit a murdered emperor's soul, convincingly enough to fool the men who hired her.
A Hugo-winning novella set in the Cosmere. Shai, a Forger caught stealing, is offered her life if she can do the impossible: rebuild the murdered emperor’s soul in a hundred days, so convincingly that his own court can’t tell. What follows is a quiet, contained meditation on art, identity and what makes a person who they are. Short, elegant, and often named the best thing Sanderson has written.
