Elantris bývala výstavním městem s nádhernými paláci, jejichž vysoké věže zářily do daleka. Obyvateli tohoto města bývaly bytosti, o nichž se v sousedních sídlech věřilo, že jsou bohy. Krom fascinujícího vzhledu to byly i jejich magické schopnosti, pro něž je vyhledávali lidé z blízkého i dalekého okolí Arelonu. Vše bylo nádherné až do chvíle, kdy město zasáhl Reod - kletba, která zničila všechnu nádheru i kouzlo, pokryla místo páchnoucím slizem a z obyvatel udělala bytosti ani mrtvé ani živé... Čtenář je udržován v napětí až do samého závěru a teprve až v poslední kapitole dojde k očekávanému odkrytí tajemství prokletého města. Elantris je nádhernou fantasy pohádkou plnou napětí, záhad, duchovních hodnot a lásky.

Poslední bitva vypukla. Zámky na věznici Temného se rozpadají. Samotný vzor se rozvolňuje a armády Stínu se začaly valit z Morny. Nad třetím věkem začalo zapadat slunce. Perrina Aybaru nyní pronásledují přízraky z minulosti: bělokabátníci, zabíječ vlků a odpovědnost vůdce. A celou dobu mu neviditelný nepřítel utahuje smyčku kolem krku. Aby přežil, musí hledat odpovědi v Tel'aran'rhiodu a - konečně - najít způsob, jak ovládnout vlka ve svém nitru, jinak se v něm navždy ztratí. Matrim Cauthon se mezitím připravuje na nejtěžší výzvu, které kdy v životě čelil. Tvorové za kamennými průchody - Aelfinnové a Eelfinnové - jej zmátli, vysmívali se mu, pověsili ho a do paměti mu nacpali úryvky životů jiných mužů. Doufal, že jeho poslední střet s nimi vše ukončí, ale kolo tká, jak si kolo přeje. Přichází chvíle, kdy bude opět muset tančit s hady a liškami a hrát hru, kterou nelze vyhrát. Věž Gendžei čeká a její tajemství odhalí osud dávno ztraceného přítele. Dovie'andi se tovja sagain. Je čas hodit kostky.

Brandon Sanderson is one of the most significant fantasists to enter the field in a good many years. His ambitious, multi-volume epics and his stellar continuation of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series have earned both critical acclaim and a substantial popular following. In LEGION, a distinctly contemporary novella filled with suspense, humor, and an endless flow of invention, Sanderson reveals a startling new facet of his singular narrative talent. Stephen Leeds, AKA 'Legion', is a man whose unique mental condition allows him to generate a multitude of personae: hallucinatory entities with a wide variety of personal characteristics and a vast array of highly specialised skills. As the story begins, Leeds and his 'aspects' are drawn into the search for the missing Balubal Razon, inventor of a camera whose astonishing properties could alter our understanding of human history and change the very structure of society. The action ranges from the familiar environs of America to the ancient, divided city of Jerusalem. Along the way, Sanderson touches on a formidable assortment of complex questions: the nature of time, the mysteries of the human mind, the potential uses of technology, and the volatile connection between politics and faith. Resonant, intelligent, and thoroughly absorbing, LEGION is a provocative entertainment from a writer of great originality and seemingly limitless gifts.

They told David it was impossible - that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realise he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs. Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though. Ruled by the mysterious High Epic, Regalia, David is sure Babylon Restored will lead him to what he needs to find. And while entering another city oppressed by a High Epic despot is a gamble, David's willing to risk it. Because killing Steelheart left a hole in David's heart. A hole where his th irst for vengeance once lived. Somehow, he filled that hole with another Epic - Firefight. And he's willing to go on a quest darker, and more dangerous even, than the fight against Steelheart to find her, and to get his answers.
