Stormlight: War for Roshar Box Cover Reveal! ⚔️ This incredible piece by the iconic Jason Rainville, known for his work on Magic the Gathering and Lord of the Rings, perfectly illustrates the scale of the conflict at the heart of this game while showcasing the Leaders who drive the action forward.

Stormlight: War for Roshar Box cover: Kaladin and Leshwi engage in tense combat in the skies above a gruesome battle below as the Everstorm and Highstorm meet behind them. Jasnah can be seen in her glimmering Shardplate, wielding her blade as she directs Coalition troops toward the colossal Thunderclast wreaking havoc across the battlefield. Lezian faces off against troops as Szeth, wielding Nightblood, applies Lashings to fly straight toward him.

Publishers Weekly also had a great review of BLIGHTFALL, the first in the Riftwake series by @brandonsanderson.com and @jancipatterson.bsky.social (out in a month!) "Thrilling action, chaste romance, and gentle humor maintain the zippy pace and lighthearted tone...It’s a blast."

A picture of a Publishers Weekly review of BLIGHTFALL by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It reads:
"Set in Sanderson’s Skyward universe and spun off from his and coauthor Patterson’s Skyward Flight series, this spirited trilogy launch sees a peaceful mission to a remote human space colony go sideways. After defeating “oppressive galactic empire” the Superiority, the human and alien inhabitants of planet Detritus start contacting other worlds. When communication attempts with far-flung Blightfall prove unsuccessful, flight-leader Arturo Mendez, pilot Sadie Chay, and other teen members of military unit Skyward Flight accompany diplomats on an in-person visit. Evidence indicates that Blightfall’s humans don’t have spaceships, but when Detritus’s delegation arrives, armed drones destroy the diplomats’ vessel, forcing Arturo and company to crash-land. Blightfall’s inhibitor field prevents them from hyper-jumping home, summoning reinforcements, or warning would-be rescuers, so while it’s clear they’ve “drastically misunderstood” the situation on this planet, the crew has little choice but to head for Blightfall’s lone city and find a way to save themselves. Breezy first-person narration alternates between cautious Arturo and ebullient Sadie, interspersed with interludes from amiable alien slugs. Thrilling action, chaste romance, and gentle humor maintain the zippy pace and lighthearted tone, while introspective depictions of intersectionally diverse characters add substance. It’s a blast. Ages 12–up. Agents: (for Sanderson) Joshua Bilmes, JABberwocky Literary; (for Patterson) Eddie Schneider, JABerwocky Literary. (Sept.)"

Cosmere readers…the cover has finally arrived. #TheFiresofDecember by @brandonsanderson.com is a new standalone novel set in the Cosmere universe! Coming December, 08, 2026! Cover art by Tran Nguyen Preorder today: geni.us/FIRESOFDECEM...

A promotional graphic with a solid medium-blue background, acting as the book blurb or synopsis page for "The Fires of December by Brandon Sanderson."

The top section displays the title and author in bold, italicized white text. Below a thin white dividing line, the main text block reads:
"From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson—creator of The Stormlight Archive, the Mistborn saga, and countless bestselling works of science fiction and fantasy—comes a new standalone novel set in his Cosmere universe.
In the next Cosmere standalone novel, Hoid has an epic tale to share: In a forgotten land sustained by colorful rivers of demon blood, a young woman named December learns a devastating plague is on its way. But who will believe her?
Against impossible odds, she sets sail up the River Violet to warn the king's court, determination—and wisdom beyond her years—burning in her eyes. With a chatty priestess and a fledgling fashion designer at her side, she must navigate incredulous royal officials, twisted court intrigue, and a roguish count who might hold the key to her quest—and her heart."

At the bottom center, the Tor and Gollancz publisher logos are displayed side by side in white.
