Elantris Novel

Elantris is the novel which began Brandon Sanderson's career - and now, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its first publication, comes the definitive edition with 10,000 words of bonus content!
Elantris was built on magic and it thrived. But then the magic began to fade and Elantris began to rot. And now its shattered citizens face domination by a powerful Imperium motivated by dogged religious views. Can a young Princess unite the people of Elantris, rediscover the lost magic and lead a rebellion against the imperial zealots?
Brandon Sanderson's debut fantasy showed his skill as a storyteller and an imaginer of baroque magical systems to be fully developed from the start.
