Edgedancer was originally written exclusively for the anthology of cosmere stories included in Brandon's collection, Arcanum Unbounded, released on November 22, 2016 by Dragonsteel Entertainment, LLC.[1] The 272-page novella focuses on Lift, who previously appeared in a Words of Radiance interlude. Brandon later published the novella as its own book;[2] This separate book also includes the interlude from Words of Radiance.[3] Brandon has recommended on many occasions to read Edgedancer before reading the third book in The Stormlight Archive (i.e., Oathbringer), as it contains an important plot point and adds a new dimension to the next story.[4]
