Tor Books is priming the pump for the next door-stop series (multi-volume epic fantasy) from Brandon Sanderson. The Stormlight Archive series will debut with The Way of Kings on 31 August, in print, audio, and e-book forms. And now, Tor has posted the prelude, prologue, and first three chapters, which you can access from this page.
Sanderson says this is “the first of several previews” for the book. He also notes “the preview chapters will eventually make their way to the library section” of his own site, but Tor.com has them exclusively “for a while”. Sanderson’s own introduction to /description of the book is posted here. And this post provides an index for all posts about the book thus far.
Sanderson is the co-author of the final volumes of Robert Jordan’s doorstopping Wheel of Time series, also published by Tor.
