Synopsis "Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds"

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a thriller that will make you question reality. Like Sherlock Holmes or Wednesday Addams, the best detectives always have their quirks... A genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen Leeds can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours. To contain and make use of all of this, his mind creates hallucinatory people who Stephen calls aspects. Wherever he goes, a team of imaginary experts help him solve problems--for a price. As the aspects start taking on lives of their own, Stephen is hired to recover a camera that can take pictures of the past. Now he finds himself in a race against time and crossing continents to discover the truth about his aspects...and the lies he tells himself. Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds includes the novellas Legion, Legion: Skin Deep, and the finale to Stephen Leeds' story, Lies of the Beholder. "Readers will get drawn into the fascinating world of Stephen and his friends--real and imagined--as they work together to solve the seemingly unsolvable."--Publishers Weekly "This quick, entertaining read has the pulse of a thriller and the hook of a fascinating hero balancing on the edge of psychosis."--Library Journal

Brandon Sanderson (Lincoln, Nebraska, December 19, 1975) is an American writer of fantasy and science fiction literature. He is best known for the fictional universe of Cosmere, in which most of his fantasy novels are set, including the series Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive. Outside of Cosmere, he has written several series for young adults and children, such as The Reckoners, the Skyward series, and the Alcatraz series. He is also known for completing Robert Jordan's high fantasy series The Wheel of Time. Sanderson has created several fantasy graphic novels, such as White Sand and Dark One.

He created Sanderson's Laws of Magic and popularized the idea of "hard magic" and "soft magic" systems. In 2008, Sanderson started a podcast with writer Dan Wells and cartoonist Howard Tayler called Writing Excuses, which discusses topics on genre writing and webcomics. In 2016, the American media company DMG Entertainment acquired the rights to all of Sanderson's Cosmere universe, but since then the rights have reverted back to Sanderson. Sanderson's Kickstarter campaign in March 2022 became the most successful in history, with 185,341 backers pledging 41,754,153 dollars.

Born in Nebraska, he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) and currently resides in Provo (Utah), with his wife Emily whom he married on July 7, 2006. He earned a master's degree in Creative Writing in 2005 at Brigham Young University, where he was roommates with Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings. He has been nominated twice for the John W. Campbell Award.
