New York Times Bestselling author Brandon Sanderson brings us deeper into the Cosmere Universe with a standalone adventure that will appeal to fans of The Princess Bride. The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

Return to #1 New York Times bestseller Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn world of Scadrial as its second era, which began with The Alloy of Law, comes to its earth-shattering conclusion in The Lost Metal. For years, frontier lawman turned big-city senator Waxillium Ladrian has hunted the shadowy organization the Set - with his late uncle and his sister among their leaders - since they started kidnapping people with the power of Allomancy in their bloodlines. When Detective Marasi Colms and her partner Wayne find stockpiled weapons bound for the Outer City of Bilming, this opens a new lead. Conflict between Elendel and the Outer Cities only favors the Set, and their tendrils now reach to the Elendel Senate - whose corruption Wax and Steris have sought to expose - and Bilming is even more entangled. After Wax discovers a new type of explosive that can unleash unprecedented destruction and realizes that the Set must already have it, an immortal kandra serving Scadrial's god reveals that Harmony's power is blocked in Bilming. That means the city has fallen under the influence of another god: Trell, worshipped by the Set. And Trell isn't the only factor at play from the larger Cosmere - Marasi is recruited by offworlders with strange abilities who claim their goal is to protect Scadrial . . . at any cost. Wax must choose whether to set aside his rocky relationship with God and once again become the Sword that Harmony has groomed him to be. If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.

Spensa prchne před svými pronásledovateli z Výhledu na hvězdy do území nikoho. Naráz se ocitá ve zvláštním světě, kde fyzikální zákony fungují jinak, stejně jako tu jinak ubíhá čas. Jejím cílem je získat informace, jak porazit pátrače, kteří tu žijí a kteří o ní samozřejmě ví. Odhalení jejich tajemství je totiž jedinou možností, jak zachránit galaxii před zničením.  Aby uspěla, musí nejen vylepšovat své cytonické dovednosti, ale vypořádat se se stále inteligentnějším a emočně citlivějším M-Botem, vyhýbat se nástrahám pirátů a zejména sbírat informace na Stezce stařešinů. Ta se skládá z portálů, do nichž dávní cytonici zapsali své vzpomínky. Právě ony jsou klíčem k rozluštění tajemství pátračů a k odhalení jejich slabin. Na dobrodružné výpravě jí bude dělat průvodce tajemný Chet a spolu se postaví tomu největšímu nebezpečí, které zde ohrožuje každý živý organismus – postupné ztrátě vzpomínek.

Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator. Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she's able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return. To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.

Spense se podařilo získat si respekt. Už se nepotuluje po jeskyních a neživí se potkaním masem, ale jako zručná pilotka svádí boj s Krelly, kteří usilují o vyhlazení lidstva na planetě Detritus. Teď ji ale čeká další náročný úkol. V přestrojení za mimozemšťanku Alanik se musí dostat mezi úhlavní nepřátele, kteří se nacházejí o mnoho světelných let dál, na umělé planetě Výhled na hvězdy. Tady se má pod velením Nejvyšší instance připravovat na boj proti pátračům, děsivé síle, která se tu a tam vynoří z území nikoho a dokáže pohltit všechno živé. Netuší ovšem, že celý výcvik je jen zástěrka pro něco mnohem strašlivějšího. A pokud bude chtít přežít, musí se nejen spojit s mimozemskými bytostmi, ale naučit se využívat své cytonické schopnosti.

Titul Spousta obsahuje trojici příběhů Stefana Leedse, přezdívaného Spousta vzhledem k tomu, že jeho unikátní psychika dokáže v halucinacích vytvořit spoustu samostatně existujících aspektů jeho osobnosti, které s ním vytvářejí funkční tým. Je geniálním řešitelem záhad, protože každý jeho aspekt je specialistou v určité odbornosti, a proto je také - ke své značné nelibosti - středem pozornosti psychiatrů a vědců, kteří ho stíhají na každém kroku. První případ ho zavede od tajemného dopisu až do Jeruzaléma, kde za pomoci svých aspektů pátrá po ztraceném záhadném přístroji budoucnosti, jehož objevení by přepsalo celou lidskou historii a jehož zneužití by mohlo ohrozit samotnou existenci lidstva. Ve druhém příběhu, Pod kůží, Spousta pomáhá příteli najít ukradenou mrtvolu vědce, která by mohla ukrývat klíč k významnému vědeckému objevu. Pátrání mu komplikuje profesionální vrah, který mu je neustále v patách, a bratr zemřelého, snažící se hájit čest rodiny. Třetí příběh, Každý to má jinak, pootevírá pohled do Spoustova složitého nitra. Krize jeho aspektů a nová naděje na setkání s jeho bývalou láskou ho zavádějí do instituce, která se pomocí supermoderních technologií pokouší o manipulaci s lidskou psychikou a vůlí.  

Planeta Taldain je rozdělená na dvě poloviny - jedna strana se trvale koupe v paprscích žhavého slunce, zatímco druhá zůstává stále zahalená temnotou. Denní strana tradičně uctívala legendární dunmistry pro jejich magickou schopnost ovládat bílý písek, dominující celé krajině. Potom, co jejich řady zdecimoval brutální útok, se dunmistri semkli pod vedením nezkušeného Kentona, aby čelili tajným spiklencům i neskrývaným odpůrcům na Denní straně v boji o holou existenci. Magie, intriky a tajemství provázejí Kentona na každém kroku ipotom, co spojí síly s Khriss, vévodkyní z Noční strany, jejíž zájmy se zdánlivě prolínají s jeho. Do jaké míry jí ovšem může důvěřovat?
