Brandon Sanderson ist ein renommierter amerikanischer Autor, geboren 1975 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Bekanntheit erlangte er vor allem durch seine Werke in den Genres Fantasy und Science-Fiction. Sanderson studierte Biochemie an der Brigham Young University, unterbrach sein Studium allerdings für Missionarstätigkeit bei der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage.
Sandersons literarische Karriere begann, als er sein Masterstudium an der Brigham Young University absolvierte und gleichzeitig das Leading Edge Magazine betreute. Seinen Durchbruch erzielte er mit der Mistborn-Reihe, die ihm bedeutende Anerkennung einbrachte. Nach dem Tod von Robert Jordan wurde Sanderson ausgewählt, Jordans gefeierte Reihe The Wheel of Time zu vollenden, wofür er Jordans Notizen verwendete.
Neben Mistborn und The Wheel of Time schreibt Sanderson die Alcatraz-Reihe und The Stormlight Archive, eine 10-bändige Reihe. Er unterrichtet kreatives Schreiben an der Brigham Young University und lebt mit seiner Familie in Utah. In letzter Zeit hat er viel veröffentlicht, darunter mehrere Geheime Projekte und der letzte Band der Skyward-Reihe, Defiant, der 2023 erscheinen soll. Sandersons Werke zeichnen sich durch Tiefe, verschlungene Handlungsstränge und ein phantasievolles Weltentwurf aus, was ihn zu einer beliebten Figur in der modernen Fantasy und Science-Fiction macht.
