Dragonsteel Prime was Brandon's eighth 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.

Brandon has stated that it was not his best work. He plans to rewrite and publish the series after the completion of The Stormlight Archive.[1] Sections of the book, including locations such as the Shattered Plains were later re-purposed in The Way of Kings, but Brandon considers most of the other events to be canon.[2]

It is set on Yolen several hundred years after the events of The Liar of Partinel and The Lightweaver of Rens. 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'.[citation needed] The story focuses on Jerick, a lumberman's son, but also includes other viewpoint characters, such as Topaz.
