The Emperor’s Soul: Arcanum Unbounded: Can A THIEF/Forger Create Emperor’s New SOUL With MAGIC?
Here’s the link for my Patreon page:
Newest Mindgasms Book Club Chat with Mask AKA Tristram Johnson and the Woke Centrist AKA Dusty Cubes AKA Dustin Cubit on “The Emperor’s Soul,” a novella in the short story collection called Arcanum Unbounded by Brandon Sanderson, authour of the Mistborn and Stormlight Archive fantasy series. This story is about a thief who can forge new and duplicate versions of objects and living things using magic powers. She is kidnapped by guards who serve the dying emperor because they want her to forge a new soul for him to save his life before he dies. She is imprisoned to make sure she does so (while secretly plotting her escape.) This novella takes place on a different planet in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe than those on which other books occur, and it also has its own different and unique magic system.
Check out my last Mindgasms Book Club Chat with Parker and the Woke Centrist AKA Dusty Cubes AKA Dustin Cubit on Dune Messiah, the second in the original series by Frank Herbert. Various factions conspire, scheme, manipulate and murder to take control of the intergalactic empire from Paul Atreides, a duke who became a God and fulfilled the Fremen prophecy. Even the power of prescience that Paul AKA Maud’ Dib gains from the spice called melange, which comes from the planet Arrakis, does not allow him to see what happens for certain in the future. All that he can know is every possible outcome. He cannot be sure about which one will definitely occur. So, he still has to figure out the best path for success to avoid all of his enemies plans for taking away his power. His dead friend and body guard named Duncan Idaho comes back as a ghola, which is a clone made of biological material. One of the people schemeing against him is trying to get him to produce an heir with the descendant of the former ruler of the empire, from House Corrino rather than Atriedes. Paul’s Fremen wife named Chani wants him to have a child with her as well. Who will win the game for power, control of the spice on planet Arrakis, and the intergalactic empire?
