About this series

The Cosmere is the shared universe in which Brandon Sanderson sets most of his epic fantasy. Elantris, the Mistborn books, Warbreaker, The Stormlight Archive and a run of novellas and standalones such as Tress of the Emerald Sea and The Sunlit Man all take place in it, on different worlds that are bound together by a hidden history. Each story can be read on its own, and the connections reward readers who follow more than one.
