Wizards of the Coast
Brandon Sanderson, the author of fantasy novels such as the Mistborn series and Stormlight Archive, has been a fan of Magic: The Gathering and on Tuesday, IO9 revealed Sanderson's upcoming Magic: The Gathering novella titled Magic: Children of the Nameless. Sanderson collaborated with Magic's story team at Wizards of the Coast, and it follows a young girl named Tacenda, who is capable of great magic, until tragedy hits at the worst possible time but during that tragedy, Tacenda meets a mysterious new Planeswalker named Davriel, designed by Sanderson himself.
Here's the cover of Sanderson's Magic: Children of the Nameless illustrated by Chris Rahn.
And here's the synopsis:
That sounds epic and I'm glad that Sanderson is writing a story about a character he designed instead of writing about the Gatewatch. The American author is having a Reddit AMA this Thursday, and you can read his interview with iO9 here. You can also read the first chapter in that link.
Sanderson is one of my favorite authors and I'm excited to read his Magic novella.
Magic: Children of the Nameless will be available to download for free on Wizards of the Coast's official Magic website.
