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...

" Elantris is the finest novel of fantasy to be written in many years. Brandon Sanderson has created a truly original world of magic and intrigue, and with the rigor of the best science fiction writers he has made it real at every level." --Orson Scott Card on Elantris "Fantasy fans will love both the compelling story and the creative magical setting." --www.LibraryJournal.com " The Emperor's Soul is a worthy addition to Sanderson's bibliography: a new magic system with some interesting implications, a couple of fascinating characters, a focused plot, and a subtle link to the much larger picture he's been painting for years." --www.tor.com "This story had such a wonderful balance with the world, characters and magic building, that I truly hope the author will explore it more with Shai and the world she lives in." --www.OpenBookSociety.com "A fascinating study of clashing beliefs, another inventive magic system, and highly entertaining action sequence... This is an easy recommendation to every fantasy reader out there." --www.FantasyBookReview.co.uk "Sanderson proves to be an exceptionally talented writer in the pages of this book... The Emperor's Soul is one of those rare high fantasies that feels fresh and is filled with a sense of wonder." -- Fantasy & Science Fiction (March 2013)
