~~<disable-google-snippet /><!--this is required to stop spoilers appearing in google-->~~ ~~{{DISPLAYTITLE:''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''}}~~ {{book \|cover=Tress US Cover.jpg \|word-count=[[/Statistical_analysis\|107,227]] }} ~~{{spoilers\|tress}}~~ '''''Tress of the Emerald Sea''''' is a stand alone cosmere novel, told as an in-world story by [[Hoid]]. It chronicles the journey of [[Tress]] as she travels the world of [[Lumar]] to rescue her beloved, [[Charlie]], after he is kidnapped by the [[Sorceress]]. Unlike other Hoid stories which tend towards more fanciful, Tress' adventures reflect real-world cosmere events that occurred, though the tale still includes artistic liberties added by Hoid as part of his storytelling style.{{wob ref\|15423}} ''Tress of the Emerald Sea'' was the first of the secret projects released in 2023. It was released in January of that year as part of a [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragonsteel/surprise-four-secret-novels-by-brandon-sanderson Kickstarter Campaign].{{ref\|name=AnnouncementVideo}} This ~~will be~~was followed by a standard publishing release on April 4, 2023.{{url ref\|url=https://www.amazon.com/Winter-2023-Tor-Title-Announced/dp/1250899656/\|site=Amazon.com\|text=''Tress of the Emerald Sea'' on Amazon\|name=Amazon}} It is a cosmere novel set on a new world, with the "craziest worldbuilding" of the four secret projects.{{wob ref\|15415}} On March 3, 2022, Brandon released the first five chapters along with some brief commentary, which can be read [[bws:first-look-at-secret-project-1\|on his website]] and listened to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBUVXcIE0E0 on his YouTube channel]. He also did a full spoiler Q&A about these preview chapters, which can be listened to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvXvV3rWsqg on his YouTube channel]. * [[Tress]] * [[Charlie]] * [[Hoid]]▼ * [[Huck]] ▲* [[Hoid]] * [[Fort]] * [[Ann]] * [[Ulaam]] * [[Salay]] The story was directly inspired by ''[[wikipedia:The Princess Bride (film)\|The Princess Bride]]'', more specifically a watch party of it that Brandon had with his wife and kids. During the movie, Emily was dissatisfied with Princess Buttercup's passive attitude, eventually asking why she sat and did nothing when her love was kidnapped by pirates. This gave Brandon the idea of writing a story similar in premise and tone to ''Princess Bride'', but one in which the girl does set out to rescue her love.{{wob ref\|15423}} The setting of Lumar was a combination of two factors: Brandon's desire to properly introduce aethers into the [[cosmere]], and his fascination with [[wikipedia:fluidization\|fluidization]], the process by which granular matter such as sand -- or, in this case, ~~pollen~~spores -- begins to behave like a liquid under the right circumstances.{{wob ref\|15423}} The characters of Charlie and Tress, while not direct self-inserts, have some personality traits taken from Brandon and Emily.{{wob ref\|15464}} == Cover Gallery == {{for\|/Covers\|a cover gallery of Tress of the Emerald Sea}} == Interior Art == {{tress}} {{books}} [[Category: Tress of the Emerald Sea\| ]] [[es:Tress of the Emerald Sea]]
