With The Alloy of Law, Brandon Sanderson surprised readers with a spinoff of his Mistborn books, set after the action of the trilogy, in a period corresponding to late 19th-century America. His new novel, Shadows of Self (Tor), shows Mistborn's society evolving as technology and magic mix, the economy grows, democracy contends with corruption, and religion becomes a growing cultural force.

Brandon Sanderson, the New York Times-bestselling author of Words of Radiance, coauthor of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, and creator of the Mistborn Trilogy, presents the second book in his Reckoners series: Firefight (Delacorte Press), the sequel to Steelheart. Newcago is free. They told David it was impossible, that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet Steelheart — invincible, immortal, unconquerable — is dead. And he died by David's hand. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it only made David realize he has questions. Big ones. And no one in Newcago can give him answers. Babylon Restored, the city formerly known as the borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic Regalia, Babylon Restored is flooded and miserable, but David is sure it's the path that will lead him to what he needs to find. Entering a city oppressed by a High Epic despot is risky, but David's willing to take the gamble. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart — a hole where his thirst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic — Firefight. And now he will go on a quest darker and even more dangerous than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.

Having met the challenge of a posthumous collaboration with the great Robert Jordan to complete his classic, bestselling fantasy series, The Wheel of Time, Brandon Sanderson is at last free to return to the decade-spanning task of creating his own multi-volume epic. That epic is The Stormlight Archive and it began in 2010 with The Way of Kings. In the second book of the series, Words of Radiance (Tor), the war with the Parshendi will move into a new, dangerous phase, as Dalinar leads the human armies deep into the heart of the Shattered Plains in a bold attempt to finally end it.

Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills. Steelheart (Delacorte) is the first book in a new action-packed thrill ride of a series from Brandon Sanderson.
