About Elantris

A prince is struck by a magical curse that transforms him into a living corpse and throws him into Elantris — a city of fallen gods now rotting from within — while his betrothed arrives from another nation and begins dismantling a political conspiracy from the inside. Sanderson's debut is leaner than Mistborn but shows the same love of elegant magic systems with hidden rules.
