A man awakes in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the "real world" should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard''s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England , except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive? ****** Praise for Brandon Sanderson "Epic in every sense." - The Guardian on The Way of Kings "Brandon Sanderson''s reputation is finally as big as his novels." - The New York Times on Words of Radiance "If you''re a fan of fantasy and haven''t read the Mistborn trilogy yet, you have no excuses." - Forbes on Mistborn "A fresh view of how a world can grow, building new dimensions into the best of the old.

Think fun. Enjoy." - Kirkus , on The Alloy of Law "Mystery, magic, romance, political wrangling, religious conflict, fights for equality, sharp writing and wonderful, robust characters...Sanderson is a writer to watch." - Publishers Weekly , starred review, on Elantris
