The Emperor's Soul

This week, I’m going to introduce Brandon’s short-term novel, The Emperor’s soul. The novel won the Hugo’s award in 2013. The most special is that the inspiration of the story is from Brandon’s visit to National Palace museum.

The story is set in the same world in the novel Elantris. However, this time Brandon focused on the other magical power called “Forge(仿造)”,and for whom have this skill are called “Forger(仿師)”. Forgers believe that everything has its souls and history, through understanding and guessing the background of the objects, they can carve a “soulstamp(魂印)” and stamp on the objects to convince them become something else.

Again, Brandon has a female leading role. Wan ShaiLu, who is an excellent Forger, was caught because a betrayal in a plan to steal a picture and replace it with the Forgery(仿品) in the palace. Accidentally, she was involved into a fight between different political forces. The emperor was killed, and she was asked to curve the solstamp of Emperor’s spiritual to let him recover from the brain hurt. Also, she has to try her best to survive in the 
insidious political fight. Can she make it? Or she will be 
beaten down? Just find the answer by yourself.
