The exciting debut novel of bestselling epic fantasy author Brandon
Sanderson, Elantris!
Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic, beautiful, literally
radiant, filled with benevolent beings who used their powerful magical
abilities for the benefit of all. Yet each of these demigods was once an
ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power of
the Shaod. Ten years ago, without warning, the magic failed. Elantrians
became wizened, leper-like, powerless creatures, and Elantris itself
dark, filthy, and crumbling.
Arelon's new capital, Kae, crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Princess
Sarene of Teod arrives for a marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden,
hoping -- based on their correspondence -- to also find love. She finds
instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow. Both Teod
and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the
imperial ambitions of the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. So
Sarene decides to use her new status to counter the machinations of
Hrathen, a Fjordell high priest who has come to Kae to convert Arelon
and claim it for his emperor and his god.
But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspect the truth about Prince Raoden.
Stricken by the same curse that ruined Elantris, Raoden was secretly
exiled by his father to the dark city. His struggle to help the wretches
trapped there begins a series of events that will bring hope to Arelon,
and perhaps reveal the secret of Elantris itself.
