Order of Brandon Sanderson Books
Brandon Sanderson is a celebrated American writer specializing in fantasy and science fiction literature. This Nebraska native has gained widespread recognition for creating the Mistborn series and for completing The Wheel of Time saga after Robert Jordan's death. His literary portfolio also includes the Alcatraz series and the ambitious Stormlight Archive, which is planned as a ten-book collection.
During his graduate studies at Brigham Young University, where he pursued his Master's degree, Sanderson served as an editor for Leading Edge magazine. Today, he shares his expertise as a creative writing instructor at his alma mater. He makes his home in Utah alongside his wife and children.
Sanderson launched his publishing career in April 2005 with his debut novel Elantris. The following year marked another milestone when he released The Final Empire, which established his popular Mistborn series.
