This was utterly brilliant and satisfying. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter will be the best of the secret project novels, and it is easily one of Sandersons finest books in his career Novel NotionsFrom Number 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 this gripping story set in the Cosmere universe told by Hoid, where two people from incredibly different cultures must work together to save their worlds from certain disaster.Yumi has spent her entire life in strict obedience, granting her the power to summon the spirits that bestow vital aid upon her society - but she longs for even a single day as a normal person. Painter patrols the dark streets dreaming of being a hero - a goal that has led to nothing but heartache and isolation, leaving him always on the outside looking in. In their own ways, both of them face the world alone.Suddenly flung together, Yumi and Painter must strive to right the wrongs in both their lives, reconciling their past and present while maintaining the precarious balance of each of their worlds. If they cannot unravel the mystery of what brought them together before its too late, they risk forever losing not only the bond growing between them, but the very worlds theyve always struggled to protect.******Praise for Brandon SandersonEpic in every sense The Guardian on The Way of KingsBrandon Sandersons reputation is finally as big as his novels The New York Times on Words of RadianceIf youre a fan of fantasy and havent read the Mistborn trilogy yet, you have no excuses Forbes on Mistborn
