Elsecaller & King Lopen ebook is out!

A dual ebook for the new* Stormlight Archive short stories Elsecaller and King Lopen the First of Alethkar is finally out! Both are set during Words of Radiance.

Technically these aren't really new—they were first released at Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 via a trading card game (long story) and then in print last December, but the con game was never very accessible and the print book sold out, so this is the first time it's properly widely available. (The third Story Deck story, The ChasmFriends Get a Pet, is being released as a picture book through the Hoid Storybook Collection.)

The cover for the digital edition is a combination of two existing illustrations, one for King Lopen by Marie Seeberger (who some of you may know from her fanart under the name LaMaery) and one for Elsecaller by Erion Makuo:

Blurb and original cover for Elsecaller:

Quote

"Angerspren are!" Ivory pulled Jasnah forward. "Called by your light and drawn by your fury. Calm it now or their food will be us!"

In Elsecaller, Jasnah Kholin faces threats beyond the physical realm as she navigates the dangerous intersection of Radiant powers and raw emotion.

 And for King Lopen:

Quote

Being assassinated wasn't as bad as Elhokar Kholin, king of Alethkar, had expected it to be. The thing that had kept him looking over his shoulder all these years had finally happened, and he'd lived through it.

In King Lopen The First of Alethkar, survival is just the beginning when the impossible happens to one of Roshar's most unexpected rulers.

The stories can be purchased from the Dragonsteel Books store page, or many of the typical ebook retailers.

(Oh, and in case those who followed the original Story Deck are wondering, the "nonsense cards" from King Lopen have been included as deleted scenes!)
