Brandon Sanderson Collection (Arcanum Unbounded, Elantris & Warbreaker)

Brandon Sanderson’s collection features three remarkable tales that intertwine the elements of magic, politics, and the human experience, each set in uniquely crafted worlds. This compilation includes Arcanum Unbounded, Elantris, and Warbreaker, showcasing Sanderson's masterful storytelling and intricate world-building.

The Plot

In Elantris, readers are introduced to a once-great city built on magic, now fallen into decay as its magic fades, its shattered citizens facing domination by a powerful Imperium driven by dogged religious views. The narrative asks whether a young princess can bring the people of Elantris together, find the lost magic and lead a rebellion against the zealots of the Imperium.

Warbreaker presents a riveting tale of two sisters who happen to be princesses, one of whom must marry the God King, alongside a lesser god and an immortal trying to undo mistakes made hundreds of years ago, all drawn into a web of intrigue, love, and the complexities of duty. The vibrant use of colour and the concept of 'Breath' as a magic system add layers of depth to the story.

The set is completed by Arcanum Unbounded, a further Brandon Sanderson title.
