About This Series
Four standalone novels Sanderson wrote privately during 2020 and released together in 2023 through what became the largest publishing crowdfunding campaign on record. They share no plot and are deliberately unalike: a fairy-tale-shaped sea voyage, a comic dimensional misadventure, a quiet story about art and fear, and a hard-edged science fantasy. All four sit in the wider Cosmere universe, but each stands entirely on its own, so they can be read in any order.
