Tress of the Emerald Sea: A Cosmere Novel

"This book recounts the journey of Tress, an extraordinarily pragmatic young woman with a fondness for collecting cups. When her friend Charlie, the only son and heir to a duke, is kidnapped by the Sorceress, Tress devises a plan to rescue him by smuggling herself off her home island. Her adventures, told by Hoid, a recurring character in Brandon Sanderson’s expansive universe, The Cosmere, take her across oceans of dangerous pollen aboard a pirate ship, where she uncovers the captain’s nefarious plans. This book has everything you want in a fantasy story: talking animals, extraterrestrial beings, curses, dragons and a unique system of magic. It’s a standalone novel that will delight both hardcore Standersons, like myself, and new readers."
