Brandon Sanderson's new novella The Emperor's Soul is now available from Amazon (US, ES), Kobo and other retailers. This is the product description:
Thanks to my friend Miquel for the heads up!A novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, The Emperor's Soul showcases a fascinating magic system as the clock ticks down for a condemned criminal.
When Shai is caught replacing the Moon Scepter with her nearly flawless forgery, she must bargain for her life. An assassin has left the Emperor Ashravan without consciousness, a circumstance concealed only by the death of his wife. If the emperor does not emerge after his hundred-day mourning period, the rule of the Heritage Faction will be forfeit and the empire will fall into chaos.
Shai is given an impossible task: to create—to Forge—a new soul for the emperor in less than one hundred days. But her soul-Forgery is considered an abomination by her captors. She is confined to a tiny, dirty chamber, guarded by a man who hates her, spied upon by politicians, and trapped behind a door sealed in her own blood. Shai's only possible ally is the emperor's most loyal councillor, Gaotona, who struggles to understand her true talent.
Time is running out for Shai. Forging, while deducing the motivations of her captors, she needs a perfect plan to escape…
You are welcome!
ResponderEliminarEsperemos su pronta edición por parte de Ediciones B de esta novela corta (175 páginas), y aprovechen para re-editar "Elantris", que está agotada, ya que según creo esta novela está ambientada en el mundo de Elantris.
ResponderEliminarLa verdad es que no sñe yo si Ediciones B publicará The Emperor's Soul. No he visto la edición en papel de Tachyon, pero 175 páginas se me antojan muchas. Debe tener unos márgenes enormes y un tamaño de letra gigantesco. Yo le calculo, en una edición normal, y basándome en lo que ocupa en ebook, no mucho más allá de 100 páginas.
ResponderEliminarY sí, según ha dicho Sanderson, está situada en el mismo mundo de Elantris, pero en un lugar muy lejano y sin apenas relación entre ambas historias. Yo no he leído Elantris y estoy casi terminando The Emperor's Soul sin ningún problema.
