Welcome to Hoid’s Storybook Collection, the next Dragonsteel crowdfunding project! Alongside our four beautifully illustrated picture books, this campaign will include Brandon’s next secret project: The Fires of December.
Whether these stories are familiar to you or it's your first time encountering them, you'll love experiencing Hoid’s illusions and storytelling magic brought to life within the pages of these gorgeous books.
<h1>The Dog and the Dragon</h1><p>A fan favorite story about the dog determined to become a dragon. Hint: That’s impossible. A dog can’t become a dragon. Highly recommended if you love any of the following: fluffy, scruffy pals, stories about growth and acceptance, or bridgemen in need of a pat on the back.</p><p>Art by Howard Lyon.</p>
<h1>The Girl Who Looked Up</h1><p>Before storms, before memories, and before legends, there was a girl. Shallan first told this Rosharan folk story, but when she needed to hear it, Hoid brought his signature storytelling magic to the tale. This is a story about a girl curious enough to ask questions and brave enough to seek the answers.</p><p>Art by Alexis and Justin Hernandez.</p>
<h1> Wandersail </h1><p>The first meeting between Hoid and Kaladin brought us this story about Derethil and the crew of the Wandersail. As the young bridgeman wrestles with his circumstances, he receives this advice: "The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon. Too often, we forget that." </p><p>Art by Steve Argyle.</p>
<h1>Chasmfriends (and Pins!)</h1><p>The Chasmfriends Get a Pet! These beloved characters from the Story Deck® at Dragonsteel Nexus 2024 are coming back for a brand new adventure. Now at home between the covers of their very own picture book, join the Chasmfriends as they frolic around the Crackity Plains. </p><p>Art by Anna Earley.</p>
Introducing: The Fires of December
Art by Tran Nguyen. Design not final.
In the next Cosmere standalone novel, Hoid has an epic tale to share: In a forgotten land sustained by colorful rivers of demon blood, a young woman named December learns a devastating plague is on its way. But who will believe her? Against impossible odds, she sets sail up the River Violet to warn the king's court, determination—and wisdom beyond her years—burning in her eyes. Along the way she’ll navigate incredulous royal officials, twisted court intrigue, and a roguish count with only her wits and her new friends: a talkative priestess and a fledgling fashion designer.
