About this listen

From the best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy and co-author of the final three books of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series comes the tale of a heretic thief who is the only hope for the survival of an empire.

Shai is a Forger, a foreigner who can flawlessly copy and re-create any item by rewriting its history with skillful magic. Though condemned to death after trying to steal the emperor's sceptre, she is given one opportunity to save herself. Despite the fact that her skill as a Forger is considered an abomination by her captors, Shai will attempt to create a new soul for the emperor, who is almost dead from the attack of assassins.

Skillfully deducing the machinations of her captors, Shai needs a perfect plan to escape. The fate of the empire lies in one impossible task. Is it possible to create a forgery of a soul so convincing that it is better than the soul itself? Read by Angela Lin.

I’ve nearly read all of Sando’s released books. This one is one of my favorites. And it’s only a short story! Love the intertwined artistic and psychological elements.

I enjoyed the performance. Good cadence and enjoyable character voices.

The Emperor's Soul is another well crafted story by Brandon Sanderson. Shai a master forger is captured and held prisoner in the palace where she is enlisted to forge the emperor's soul before his 100 day mourning period is over and the truth about him is revealed to his rivals. Great narration by Angela Lin.

Great story, well crafted
