Edgedancer is out!
Edgedancer, a novella that was originally published last year as part of Arcanum Unbounded, was just released in eBook and (gorgeous) small hardcover yesterday.
For those of you who don’t know, the events that take place in Edgedancer occur between the closing of Words of Radiance and the forthcoming Oathbringer and is often referred to as Stormlight 2.5. The new release of Edgdancer also includes Lift’s interlude from Words of Radiance as a prologue so you can read all of her story in one place.
Here is a brief introduction to Edgedancer for those of you who haven’t read it yet.
Three years ago, Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older—a wish she believed was granted. Now, in Edgedancer, the barely teenage nascent Knight Radiant finds that time stands still for no one. Although the young Azish emperor granted her safe haven from an executioner she knows only as Darkness, court life is suffocating the free-spirited Lift, who can’t help heading to Yeddaw when she hears the relentless Darkness is there hunting people like her with budding powers. The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility.
If you want to read the first few chapters of Edgedancer, Tor.com released the first 3 chapters as a preview last year.
Enjoy!

Can't wait to read it! Will this version make it to your "signed hardcovers" shop? I'm checking almost daily for Oathbringer.
I have ticket 247 at Mysterious bookstore on the Oathbringer release date... I can hardly compose myself...... Whoooo! November 14 seems so far away
I fully planned to purchase the hardcover to put it on the shelf with all my other Sanderson hardcovers ... when I went to the store and saw this glorified paperback with a cheesy hardcover on it I walked away in disgust. Of course I’ll read the book, but it will be the ebook version. What the heck was the publisher thinking producing this novella in such a stupid format!
@Rick I think it's beautiful. If you want it in full-size hardcover it's part of Arcanum Unbounded, and all the stories in that volume are worth reading/owning. It doesn't make much sense to publish a full-size standalone hardcover of such a short story.
