The Emperor's Soul

Author: Brandon Sanderson

Shai, a master forger, faces her greatest challenge yet: recreating the soul of an emperor in just 100 days. Trapped in a palace of intrigue and deception, she must unravel the essence of a man she’s never met. As she delves deeper into the emperor’s past, Shai questions the nature of identity and the power of creation. Sanderson’s novella is a masterclass in worldbuilding, blending magic and philosophy in a tale that will leave you pondering long after the last page.

A man was defined not by his flaws, but by how he overcame them.
