About this listen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson expands his Cosmere universe shared by The Stormlight Archive and Mistborn with a new standalone novel for everyone who loved The Princess Bride. Narrated by Michael Kramer.

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?

Note from Brandon:

I started writing this in secret, as a novel just for my wife. She urged me to share it with the world—and alongside three other secret novels, with the support of readers worldwide it grew into the biggest Kickstarter campaign of all time. I’m excited to present this first book to you at last: a different type of Brandon Sanderson story, one I wrote when there were no time constraints, no expectations, and no limits on my imagination. Come be part of the magic.

Only Brandon Sanderson

I don’t think there is another author capable of be so wholesome, fairytale- like, whimsical, moving and satisfying all at the same time- his characters always surprise in their integrity and he consistently represents psychology, disability and neurodivergence in ways which aren’t token; feel like genuine thoughtful representation and make me feel seen.

Great to read to kids

I just loved this book. It’s perfect to read to a younger child. I do wish the narrator didn’t make Tress sound so odd. It would have been better with Kate Reading.

A real surprise and great fun

I loved this. Didn't know what to expect and found and a very fun, enjoyable and heart-warming story. It really transports you to a proper fantasy world that is as unexpected as it is fascinating.

Light hearted addition to the cosmere

Change of pace from most other of Sanderson's cosmere novels but an enjoyable story and plenty of Easter eggs. not really a fan of Michael Kramer's narration though. I find some of his accents forced and jarring.
