    La ciudad de Elantris, poderosa y bella capital de Arelon, había sido llamada la "ciudad de los dioses". Antaño famosa sede de inmortales, un lugar repleto de poderosa magia, Elantris ha caído en desgracia. Ahora sólo acoge a los nuevos "muertos en vida", postrados en una insufrible "no-vida" tras una misteriosa y terrible transformación. Un matrimonio de estado destinado a unir los dos reinos de Arelon y Teod se frustra, ya que el novio, Raoden, el príncipe de Arelon, sufre inesperadamente la Transformación y se convierte en un "muerto en vida" obligado a refugiarse en Elantris. Su reciente esposa, la princesa Sarene de Teod, creyéndole muerto, se ve obligada a incorporarse a la vida de Arelon y su nueva capital Kae, a la que aporta un nuevo elemento: la novedad y, tal vez, el caos. Mientras, el embajador y alto sacerdote de otro reino vecino, Fjordell, va a usar su todopoderosa religión y su habilidad política como manipulador de seres humanos para intentar dominar los dos reinos de Arelod y Teod, con el propósito de somerterlos a su emperador y su dios. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION There's a force in Arelon known as the Dor that randomly chooses people and grants them divine powers. Elantris was once the city of the gods, where anyone who was 'chosen' went to live. Ten years ago, the Elantrians lost their powers and caught a terrible disease instead. From that point on, Elantris became a quarantine zone for any that caught that disease.

    Sentenced to death after attempting to steal the emperor's scepter, Shai, a Forger, is given one chance to save her own life, using it to try to create a new soul for the nearly dead emperor.

    The Emperor's Soul
  • 2013 Hugo Winner From the best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy and the co-author of the final three books of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series comes the tale of a heretic thief who is the only hope for the survival of an empire. Shai is a Forger, a foreigner who can flawlessly copy and re-create any item by rewriting its history with skillful magic. Although condemned to death after trying to steal the emperor's scepter, she is given one opportunity to save herself. Despite the fact that her skill as a Forger is considered an abomination by her captors, Shai will attempt to create a new soul for the emperor, who is almost dead from the attack of assassins. Delving deeply into his life, she discovers Emperor Ashravan's truest nature--and the opportunity to exploit it. Her only possible ally is one who is truly loyal to the emperor, but councilor Gaotona must overcome his prejudices to understand that her forgery is as much artistry as it is deception. Skillfully deducing the machinations of her captors, Shai needs a perfect plan to escape. The fate of the kingdom lies in one impossible task. Is it possible to create a forgery of a soul so convincing that it is better than the soul itself?
