When Shai is caught replacing the Moon Scepter with her nearly flawless forgery, she must bargain for her life. An assassin has left the Emperor Ashravan without consciousness, a circumstance concealed only by the death of his wife. If the emperor does not emerge after his hundred-day mourning period, the rule of the Heritage Faction will be forfeit and the empire will fall into chaos.

Shai is given an impossible task: to create—to Forge—a new soul for the emperor in less than one hundred days. But her soul-Forgery is considered an abomination by her captors. She is confined to a tiny, dirty chamber, guarded by a man who hates her, spied upon by politicians, and trapped behind a door sealed in her own blood. Shai's only possible ally is the emperor's most loyal counselor, Gaotona, who struggles to understand her true talent.

Time is running out for Shai. Forging, while deducing the motivations of her captors, she needs a perfect plan to escape...©2012 Brandon Sanderson (P)2019 Graphic Audio LLC Epic Epic Fantasy Fantasy Fiction Adaptation

Now, is this the best book in the Cosmere? No. Is it the most meaningful story in the Cosmere? I’d wager not. But what is the greatest piece of art in the Cosmere? I’d say it’s THE EMPEROR’S SOUL.

It’s a well-executed rendition of the book, with Frava and Ashravan’s voice actors providing amazing performances.

This is a great, heartfelt story about people. Why we do as we do, what makes us who we are, and what isn't like to try to understand someone who is different from you. The preformace was wonderful and really added to this great story!
