The Stormlight Archive novella "Edgedancer" is the crown jewel of Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection, which includes novellas and short stories from the worlds of the Stormlight Archive, the Mistborn Saga, Elantris, and more.

This collection includes:

  • "The Hope of Elantris" (Elantris)
  • "The Eleventh Metal" (Mistborn)
  • "The Emperor's Soul" (Elantris)
  • "Allomancer Jak and the Pits of Eltania, Episodes 28 through 30" (Mistborn)
  • "White Sand" (excerpt; Taldain)
  • "Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell" (Threnody)
  • "Sixth of Dusk" (First of the Sun)
  • "Mistborn: Secret History" (Mistborn)
  • "Edgedancer" (The Stormlight Archive)

These nine wonderful works, published elsewhere individually, convey the expanse of the Cosmere and tell exciting tales of adventure Sanderson fans have come to expect, including the Hugo Award-winning novella "The Emperor's Soul" and an excerpt from the graphic novel "White Sand."

Finally, this collection includes essays and illustrations for the various planetary systems in which the stories are set.
