From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a new novella collection, including a brand new, never-been-published story.

Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It's his hallucinations who are mad.

A genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours. However, to contain all of this, his mind creates hallucinatory people – Stephen calls them aspects – to hold and manifest the information. Wherever he goes, he is joined by a team of imaginary experts to give advice, interpretation, and explanation. He uses them to solve problems... for a price.

His brain is getting a little crowded and the aspects have a tendency of taking on lives of their own. When a company hires him to recover stolen property – a camera that can allegedly take pictures of the past – Stephen finds himself in an adventure crossing oceans and fighting terrorists. What he discovers may upend the foundation of three major world religions – and, perhaps, give him a vital clue into the true nature of his aspects.

Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds will include the novellas Legion and Legion: Skin Deep, published together for the first time, as well as a brand new Stephen Leeds novella, Lies of the Beholder.

Brandon Sanderson

Few modern fantasy authors have reshaped the genre quite like Brandon Sanderson. Renowned for his intricate worldbuilding, innovative magic systems, and compelling character arcs, he has captivated millions of readers worldwide. His work blends epic storytelling with meticulous attention to detail, making his novels both immersive and intellectually engaging.

Breaking onto the scene with Elantris, he quickly gained recognition, but it was Mistborn: The Final Empire that solidified his place among the genre’s greats. The trilogy introduced a unique alchemical-inspired magic system, Allomancy, and a cast of unforgettable characters navigating a world of oppression and rebellion. His ability to craft deep, well-structured narratives continued with The Stormlight Archive, a sweeping epic that has drawn comparisons to some of fantasy’s most revered sagas.

Beyond his original works, his contribution to Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series was a defining moment in his career. Handpicked to complete the legendary saga after Jordan’s passing, he delivered a masterful conclusion with The Gathering Storm, Towers of Midnight, and A Memory of Light, staying true to the spirit of the original while infusing it with his own storytelling finesse.

Themes of perseverance, sacrifice, and the nature of power echo throughout his books. His magic systems are not mere plot devices but deeply integrated elements that shape cultures, economies, and conflicts. This meticulous approach extends to his worldbuilding, where each setting feels rich, lived-in, and distinct.

His prolific output and ability to consistently deliver high-quality, ambitious narratives have garnered him a dedicated fanbase. Through projects like the Cosmere, a shared universe linking many of his novels, he has built an interconnected web of stories that continue to reward long-time readers with hidden connections and expansive lore.

In addition to his novels, he is known for his deep engagement with fans, often sharing insights into his writing process and publishing updates through social media and his online lectures. His record-breaking Kickstarter campaign for self-published works showcased not just his popularity but also his innovative approach to modern publishing.

With each new book, he pushes the boundaries of fantasy, proving that the genre still has endless depths to explore. Whether through epic sagas, standalone masterpieces, or groundbreaking experiments in storytelling, his impact on fantasy literature is undeniable, and his legacy continues to grow with every spellbinding tale.
