Surviving Medieval England: A Frugal Wizard's Guide

Introducing a new science fiction adventure from Brandon Sanderson, the #1 New York Times bestselling author known for the popular series Skyward, The Stormlight Archive, and Mistborn. Narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, the story follows a man who wakes up in a clearing that resembles medieval England, with no memory of his identity, origin, or purpose in that place. Pursued by a group from his own time, his only chance of survival lies in uncovering his lost memories, forming alliances with the locals, and possibly putting his trust in their mystical beliefs. Although his only connection to the "real world" was a guidebook titled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, unfortunately, his copy was destroyed in transit. Despite salvaging a few fragments, can he decipher them in time to ensure his survival?

Brandon Sanderson shares a note about the genesis of this novel, revealing how the concept had lingered in his mind for years. The idea first began with the title, which eventually evolved into The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England. Initially, there was no narrative attached to the title, but it persisted in his thoughts, prompting him to contemplate the content of such a book. Simultaneously, he had pondered the timeless premise of a man awakening in a different era without any recollection of his past. It was the fusion of these two concepts—placing the enigmatic book in the protagonist’s possession—that led to the creation of this captivating tale. Sanderson expresses his hope that readers will derive as much enjoyment from the story as he did during its inception.
