Elantris

Author: Brandon Sanderson

Elantris, once a city of wonder and magic, now lies in ruins. Its inhabitants, once revered as gods, are now cursed, trapped in a living death. When Prince Raoden is struck by the dreaded transformation, he’s exiled to the city’s decaying streets. Meanwhile, his fiancĂ©e, Princess Sarene, arrives to find him dead. As political intrigue swirls and a mysterious priest plots destruction, Raoden and Sarene must uncover the secrets of Elantris to save their people. Sanderson weaves a tale of hope, love, and redemption in a world where magic has failed.

Do not let your assumptions about a culture block your ability to perceive the individual, or you will fail.
