With new books, tabletop games, and the upcoming Apple adaptations in development, it has never been a better time to be a Brandon Sanderson fan. There's a lot to look forward to in the upcoming days and months. Sanderson's doing a Halloween livestream on his YouTube channel. The Mistborn: The Wells of Ascension tabletop expansion releases November 18. Dragonsteel Nexus, the yearly convention in Salt Lake City, runs from December 3 to 5. The Fires of December audiobook and ebook are already out, and many of the audiobook chapters are free to enjoy, but the print version releases December 8, 2026 (pre-order here). Also, Sanderson fans should add October 24 to their calendars because Light Day is back. For newer fans, Sanderson's company, Dragonsteel, holds a sale called Light Day around this time every year in lieu of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Whether buying for yourself or looking for a gift, Light Day is the best time to shop since nearly everything will have its prices slashed. Thanks to Sanderson's weekly YouTube update, we have all the details about the event. The 2026 Light Day starts Saturday, October 24, at 9 am MDT (3 pm UTC) and runs until Tuesday, October 27, at 11:59 pm MDT (5:59 am UTC). Specific sales for 2026 include the following: 20% off almost everything 50% off all Orders of the Knights Radiant merch Skyward signed & numbered leatherbounds Skyward leatherbound with doomslug plushies bundle Doomslug plushies Mistborn 20th anniversary merch bundle Dragonsteel book newsletter discount Some of the sales listed are particularly notable because they are new items or highly anticipated returns. The Skyward leatherbound books are new, and Light Day will be their debut. In the past, signed leatherbound books have sold out almost immediately, so it would be wise to be present at the start of the sale, if you want one. On top of that, Dragonsteel is restocking the beloved Skyward doomslug plushies for Light Day, available separately or as a bundle with the leatherbound book. This year also marked Mistborn's 20th anniversary, and Dragonsteel sold merch bundles for a brief window during the celebration. Since then, those items haven’t been available. However, Dragonsteel is stocking them during Light Day, which is great news for anyone who couldn’t purchase merch during the 20th anniversary. It’s unclear whether they will stay on the site after October 27, so those who wait until after Light Day could miss out. The biggest news is that Dragonsteel book newsletter subscribers will get exclusive discount codes that apply on top of the other sales, making Light Day a little lighter on the wallet. You can sign up for the Dragonsteel books newsletter at this link. Even fans who don’t plan to shop the Light Day sale should subscribe to the newsletter, though. These emails can include everything from book status updates to sneak peeks at new writing. It’s also the best way to stay up to date on Brandon Sanderson events and future Dragonsteel launches. When signing up, folks can set content preferences so they receive the most valuable information to them. With so many exciting Brandon Sanderson projects on the horizon, the newsletter and the author’s YouTube channel are the best ways to stay up to date.
