Secret Projects Series Collection Brandon Sanderson

Discover the Secret Projects Series Collection — four imaginative novellas by bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, presented together in a companionable paperback set for readers, gift buyers, and fans of inventive fantasy. This boxed-style book collection brings together Tress of the Emerald Sea, Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, and Sunlit Man in BRAND NEW condition (Format: Paperback, ISBN: 9789124245818). Perfect for bedtime reading, travel companions, or as a thoughtful gift for young adult and adult readers who love tightly woven adventures.

Each story in this children’s series-style collection shows Sanderson’s range — from maritime fairy-tale charm to comic time-travel mishaps, atmospheric urban fantasy, and action-packed Cosmere wanderings. These Secret Projects were first offered to backers of the #1 Kickstarter campaign of all time, making them a unique set for collectors and newcomers alike.

What's inside — individual book highlights

Tress of the Emerald Sea: A gentle, rollicking adventure centered on Tress, who collects sailors’ cups and listens to stories on her emerald-green island. When disaster strikes her friend Charlie’s voyage, Tress stows away and pursues the Sorceress — a warm coming-of-age tale full of sea-bound imagination and classic Sanderson heart.

Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England: Part survival guide, part fish-out-of-water comedy. A man wakes in medieval England with no memory and a single, exploded guidebook as his intended lifeline. Expect clever humor, resourceful problem-solving, and a playful take on historical survival for readers who enjoy quirky fantasy and pragmatic heroes.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter: Yumi can summon helpful spirits but yearns for a normal day; Painter dreams of heroism but faces rejection. Their intersecting paths lead to a story about loneliness, belonging, and the quiet bravery of those who struggle on the margins — ideal for readers who appreciate strong character work and emotional depth.

Sunlit Man: Follow Nomad, a hardened wanderer forced to flee across worlds in the Cosmere to escape the Night Brigade. When he arrives on a new planet, he’s drawn into a rebellion against a tyrant. This novella pairs intense action with the broader Cosmere context that longtime Sanderson readers love.
