In 2005, Brandon Sanderson debuted with Elantris, an epic fantasy unlike any other then on the market. To celebrate its tenth anniversary, Tor is reissuing Elantris in a special edition, a fresh chance to introduce it to the myriad readers who have since become Sanderson fans.

This new edition begins with a preface by author Dan Wells, the first person to read the completed novel, and a new afterword by Sanderson explaining how he came to write the book and its place in the Cosmere, the unified universe of all his Tor novels.

Also included is an expanded version of the "Ars Arcanum" appendix, with more of the technical details of the book's magic that fans can never get enough of.

Elantris was truly a milestone both for Sanderson and for the genre of epic fantasy. It deserves this special treatment, something Tor has done only once before, with Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. Sanderson fans old and new will be excited to discover it.

Editor's Pick

This made me appreciate having super powers
"Even with his debut novel, Sanderson knew what he was doing when it came to world-building. The concept is so fascinating: a city of leper-like people who are cursed with no power to heal from any injury. Unlike a lot of fantasy novels out there, this story is about overcoming adversity with a truly major handicap. It really made me appreciate the abilities I have as an able-bodied human. I mean, in a way, isn’t the ability to heal a really cool power that we all have?"
—Melissa B., Audible Editor

The narration by Jack Garrett takes the cake! Not that the story was lacking at all but the narration kept me drawn in during the dry parts of the novel. I also love how the overall story felt whole to me. I could tell it was very carefully thought out and constructed.

Narrator was great!

Great Story. Was interested all the way through. Narration was good. Even when you think you know what's coming, you are left with some hesitation allowing the narration to take you on the journey. The uncertainty prevents one from jumping ahead of the author and gettting bored. Good pacing. Strongly recommend.

Enjoyed the journey!

if you are coming to Elantris from Stormlight or Mistborn, know that this book is from early in Sanderson's career, and as he says in the epilogue section 'his prose and environmental style have greatly improved'. Hands down it is a great story, cool characters and a good magic system, just less well written than his later books

great sanderson book, but...

This should go down as one of the greatest stand alone fantasy novels in the history of literature. Believe me.

Best Fantasy Novel. Period.

It's no wonder this book was picked as his first one to be published. It is simply astonishing.

Such a wonderfully rich story. Sanderson nails it!
