Tress of the Emerald Sea – A Cosmere Novel

Description

Tress of the Emerald Sea is a whimsical, beautifully written standalone fantasy adventure set in the Cosmere. It blends fairytale charm, clever humor, and emotional depth with Sanderson’s signature worldbuilding.

Tress is a quiet girl who lives on an isolated island in the Emerald Sea, a vast ocean of magical green spores instead of water. She collects cups, listens to stories, and watches the sea—but when her best friend and love interest, Charlie, is taken away by his noble father and rumored to be held captive by the deadly Sorceress, Tress sets off to rescue him.

With no experience, only courage and determination, Tress joins a ship of smugglers, learns to survive in a sea of spores that explode upon contact with water, and confronts pirates, curses, and cosmic forces. Along the way, she uncovers secrets far bigger than a missing boy—including the magic of Aether spores and deeper Cosmere mysteries.
