The exciting debut novel of bestselling epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson Elantris!
Elantris was the capital of Arelon: gigantic beautiful literally radiant filled with
benevolent beings who used their powerful magical abilities for the benefit of all. Yet each of
these demigods was once an ordinary person until touched by the mysterious transforming power
of the Shaod. Ten years ago without warning the magic failed. Elantrians became wizened
leper-like powerless creatures and Elantris itself dark filthy and crumbling. Arelon's new
capital Kae crouches in the shadow of Elantris. Princess Sarene of Teod arrives for a
marriage of state with Crown Prince Raoden hoping -- based on their correspondence -- to also
find love. She finds instead that Raoden has died and she is considered his widow. Both Teod
and Arelon are under threat as the last remaining holdouts against the imperial ambitions of
the ruthless religious fanatics of Fjordell. So Sarene decides to use her new status to counter
the machinations of Hrathen a Fjordell high priest who has come to Kae to convert Arelon and
claim it for his emperor and his god. But neither Sarene nor Hrathen suspect the truth about
Prince Raoden. Stricken by the same curse that ruined Elantris Raoden was secretly exiled by
his father to the dark city. His struggle to help the wretches trapped there begins a series of
events that will bring hope to Arelon and perhaps reveal the secret of Elantris itself. Other
