ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Emperor’s Soul" by Brandon Sanderson is a captivating fantasy novella that delves into the intricate world of Forgery, a magic system where artists can manipulate reality by rewriting the history of objects and even souls. The story centers on Shai, a brilliant but notorious Forger imprisoned for her crimes. When the emperor is left brain-dead after an assassination attempt, Shai is offered a deal: Forge a new soul for the emperor in exchange for her freedom.

Faced with this impossible task, Shai must delve into the emperor’s past, unraveling the complexities of his personality and memories to create a convincing replica. As she works, she grapples with moral dilemmas about the nature of identity and the ethics of manipulating someone’s soul. The narrative explores themes of art, deception, redemption, and the power of human connection, leaving readers to ponder the boundaries between reality and illusion.
