Bekannt wurde Brandon Sanderson, als er den Fantasy-Zyklus "Das Rad der Zeit" beendete, nachdem dessen Schöpfer Robert Jordan verstorben war. Inzwischen ist der US-Amerikaner mit seiner eigenen High-Fantasy-Serie "Mistborn" (dt. "Nebelgeboren") zu einem der meistgelesenen Fantasy-Autoren der Welt aufgestiegen. Er schuf ein gewaltiges Erzähluniversum, in dem Magie und Technik eine faszinierende Koexistenz eingehen.
