Description: Yumi and the Nightmare PainterBy BRANDON SANDERSON The #1 Kickstarter campaign of all time and #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson is expanding his Cosmere universe, which includes the popular Mistborn series and The Stormlight Archive. Sanderson has announced a new standalone novel that will particularly appeal to fans of fantasy romances. Illustrated by Aliya Chen, this novel introduces readers to two unique worlds and the unexpected connection between them.The first world we encounter is a world of endless night, shrouded in an even deeper darkness. Nightmares roam freely, taking on twisted shapes that sneak up to windows and silently enter through doors. They slide across the floors, observing helpless faces from above. This world is filled with fear and uncertainty, as the inhabitants are constantly on guard against these malevolent creatures.In contrast, the second world is a bright and burning place, illuminated by an overwhelming light. Stacked stones, built by hands that bear the traces of hard work, possess the power to evoke miracles. Each stone placed requires immense effort, as the weight drains the strength of those who lift them. Despite the hardships, the people of this world persevere in their tasks.It is in between these two worlds that two souls collide and entwine. Yumi, a young woman who has spent her entire life in strict obedience to her society's rules, possesses the ability to summon spirits that grant vital aid to her people. However, she longs for a taste of normalcy, yearning to experience just one day as an ordinary person. On the other hand, Painter, who roams the dark streets, dreams of becoming a hero. However, his pursuit of this goal has only brought heartache and isolation, leaving him perpetually on the outside looking in. Both Yumi and Painter face their respective worlds alone, seeking solace and purpose.In an unexpected turn of events, Yumi and Painter are brought together, forcing them to confront the injustices that haunt their lives. They must reconcile their past and present, all while safeguarding the delicate balance of their individual worlds. If they fail to unravel the mystery that has brought them together in time, they risk losing not only the budding bond between them, but also the very worlds they have fought so hard to protect.Brandon Sanderson himself describes Yumi and the Nightmare Painter as a story that emerged like magic, unfurling itself with unexpected spontaneity. For someone known for his meticulous planning, this story was a delightful surprise. The characters and their interconnected journey materialized in his mind, and he crafted the outline in just a matter of days. The worlds they inhabit came to life during moments of deep daydreaming, and the characters were developed with the sudden rush of imagination, akin to the fleeting brilliance of a firework.Yumi and the Nightmare Painter promises to be a captivating tale, with its blend of romance and fantasy. Sanderson invites readers to dive into the enchanting story of two people who find each other amidst the chaos and darkness of their worlds. He hopes that his readers' dreams may come alive in the same way that this story unfolded for him, with a touch of whimsy and magic.
