'''''Dragonsteel'' Prime''' was [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s seventh novel and was written as part of his Masters Thesis when working towards a Master's Degree in Creative Writing. Five copies are currently held in the Harold B Lee Library at Brigham Young University, four of which are available for circulation. After positive response to his release of ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]'', Brandon considered a possible release of this draft as part of a "Sanderson Curiosities" series,{{wob ref|16172}} and ultimately, it was released during the ''[[Words of Radiance]]'' Leatherbound campaign on [https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/dragonsteel/words-of-radiance-leatherbound/ Backerkit]. The book can be downloaded [https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/dragonsteel/words-of-radiance-leatherbound/updates/4692?ref=dpbs329&mc_cid=b5b4ac004d/ here].

[[The Liar of Partinel]] and [[The Lightweaver of Rens]] were later planned as prequels to the main Dragonsteel story arc, occuring several hundred years earlier. Brandon has indicated that when a reworked Dragonsteel Prime is published, he will likely call it 'Dragonsteel: Book 1' and expect the readers to connect it to the previous two books to avoid the confusion of starting his story arc with 'Dragonsteel: Book 3'.{{twg ref|6655|129402|Brandon's answer to Peter|date=2008-10-20}} The story takes place on [[Yolen]] and focuses on [[Jerick]], but also includes other viewpoint characters such as Topaz, also known as [[Hoid]].▼

== Plot Summary ==
 
=== Jerick ===
Jerick, a young boy in a Melerand village, becomes tied into an ideological caste struggle between King Rodis and Kalord Strafen, and is taken from his village to be educated in the capital. Over the years, he becomes highly educated and popular amongst the nobility and servants. During his time learning in the capital, he discovered his abilities of [[microkinesis]].
 
He lived in peace until a Sho Del assassin infiltrated the castle and attempted to kill the king. Jerick attempted to protect him, but failed.
 
This led him to travel to the Shattered Plains, where he was made into a bridgeman due to his caste. He eventually gained the recognition of a general for his leadership skills and combat ability, and became a member of the Tzai, an elite military force trained in various magics. He was very successful as a Tzai, and rose through the ranks rapidly due to his microkinetic skills.
