The creative process is often a fickle thing. You only need look at George R.R. Martin to know that stories don’t always turn out as you initially planned. Sometimes they blow up, making it even harder to actually hit your deadline. Someone who doesn’t seem to have that problem is author Brandon Sanderson, known for his work on the Wheel of Time, Mistborn, and Stormlight Archive series.

The latter of those series seems poised to be his main legacy in the world of fantasy, though at this point, there are only three books released out of a planned 10 novels. 

Maybe a month ago, Sanderson teased fans, saying that there was a good chance the fourth book could have a 2020 release, depending on his progress on the first draft. Now, Tor Books has officially shared that the novel will indeed be getting a release in 2020.

“It has been almost twenty years since I first outlined The Stormlight Archive,” Sanderson told Tor. “Back then, I didn’t think anyone would be interested in this crazy epic I’d devised–and it’s been so thrilling to see enthusiasm for it grow to such heights over the years.  Book four finally gets to one of the foundational scenes I conceived from the beginning. In fact, it might be the very first big scene I imagined, and my favorite in the entire series.  A part of me can’t believe people are finally going to be able to read it. Less than one year now! Life before death, Radiants.”

As of right now, Sanderson has updated the novel to 85% progress on the first draft.
