Brandon has a new novella, Perfect State, and it will be coming on March 31st, according to this Amazon page. And look at that cover! Team Sanderson is knocking it out of the park with these covers. (See the high resolution cover here!) Never heard of Perfect State? Yeah, no one did until the Firefight tour, where he read part of it. It's like the Matrix, but "happier". It's an interesting mix of fantasy in the "Matrix," and presumably some sci-fi out of it. The description is as follows:

Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell is a short cosmere novella that originally appeared in the George R. R. Martin anthology, Dangerous Women. Now, Dangerous Women is excellent and you really get your money's worth (it's huge), but if you haven't picked it up, you can now get Shadows for Silence individually on the Kindle store. I can't find this on other ebook sites--though you can find Dangerous Women on ebook--but I presume it will be coming soon. The date this Amazon entry was made was March 3rd, so it was very soon. Maybe we are getting the cat out of the bag a little early... But guys, look at this spectacular, spectacular cover for this ebook. I want to buy it as a gigantic poster, please. Isn't it great looking? (View it in its high resolution glory.) As for the novella itself, Shadows for Silence occurs on a minor Shardworld called Threnody, which we've never seen before. But it is worth your read. Even considering how excellent Brandon is at worldbuilding, I would say Shadows for Silence is the most atmospheric thing he's written. It's so haunting, it's magnificent. As his novellas go, I'd say it is only topped by the Emperor's Soul. Shadows for Silence is wonderful and definitely worth picking up.
