Tress of the Emerald Sea
Synopsis
Tress lives on a small island in the Emerald Sea — a sea of emerald-colored spores rather than water, where a single drop of rain causes the spores to sprout deadly vines in seconds. When the boy she loves is taken away by the pirate captain Crow and condemned to serve the Sorceress of Midnight, Tress does what no one from her island has ever done: she boards a ship and goes to sea. Narrated with warmth and wit by Hoid — the wandering enigma known across the Cosmere — Tress of the Emerald Sea is a swashbuckling adventure described by its author as his love letter to readers who cherished The Princess Bride. Originally written as a gift for Sanderson's wife Emily and part of the 2022 Kickstarter that raised $41.7 million (the largest Kickstarter of its time), the book was published in 2023 as Secret Project 1.
