Elantris is a stand-alone fantasy novel by Brandon Sanderson, published in April 2005 by Tor Books. Brandon is planning to write a sequel to Elantris, but its release has not yet been announced. It is significant as Sanderson's first widely released book. The book is named after the ruined city, whose "cursed" inhabitants are the focus of the book's plot. It has also been licensed for localized release in Russia, France, Germany, Thailand, Poland, Netherlands, and at least five other markets. Elantris has been generally well received by reviewers. The book focuses on three principal... characters whose experiences are strongly intertwined with and often direct the course of the plot. Much of the book occurs in groupings of three chapters each, one for each of the three main characters. The story threads intertwine with each other and merge in the culmination of the book's climax. These are central to the book's plot. They are the means by which the Elantrians perform magic. Many characters names are variations on the Aons, as is customary in this fantasy world.
