Grab your soulstone and get ready to carve some stamps. Today we’re talking about The Emperor’s Soul by Brandon Sanderson. This novella is set on the same world as his first published novel, Elantris, albeit in a distant land with a different culture and magic system.Shai is a Forger, a foreigner who can flawlessly copy and re-create any item by rewriting its history with skillful magic. Though condemned to death after trying to steal the emperor's scepter, she is given one opportunity to save herself. Despite the fact that her skill as a Forger is considered an abomination by her captors, Shai will attempt to create a new soul for the emperor, who was the victim of an assassination attempt.Delving deeply into his life, she discovers Emperor Ashravan's truest nature—and the opportunity to exploit it. Skillfully deducing the machinations of her captors, Shai needs a perfect plan to escape.The fate of the kingdom lies in one impossible task: is it possible to create a forgery of a soul so convincing that it is better than the soul itself?Email: podcast@BrunchWithBookwyrms.comWebsite: BrunchWithBookwyrms.com Twitter: @BrunchBookwyrmsFacebook: BrunchBookwyrms
