| The Night Brigade | |
|---|---|
| Setting | Threnody |
The Night Brigade is a tentative title for a cosmere novel set on Threnody.[1][2] The novel is considered one that Brandon will "maybe" write someday, although he does consider it integral to the overall cosmere sequence.[3] The novel is planned to take place in the Homeland.[4]
Plot Summary
An expedition tries to go back to the Homeland and free it from the Evil but things don't go well for them - the book starts with their ships sinking and the people washing up on shore.[1]
The Deepest Ones will be "involved a great deal."[5]
Characters
The story will be about brand new characters, and will most likely not include Silence Montane - except possibly as a minor cameo.[6]
Setting
The story takes place on Threnody, likely on the Homeland, the former home of the Forescouts that was lost to the Evil.[4] It will be the closest Brandon has ever gotten to grimdark.[7]
Development
The Night Brigade has been a part of Brandon's original plan for the cosmere saga for many years, since before he was a published author. The original idea for the story involved a group of refugees arriving in the Forests of Hell after having fled the Homeland, now destroyed by the Evil.[8] Recent years have seen Brandon grow more confident in his idea to flip the story on its head and instead focus on people attempting to take back the Homeland.[9] He has not yet fully completed an outline for the book.[10]
Trivia
- One of the reasons Brandon wants to write this book is because there is "a group" that will be important later in the cosmere saga, and he needs to write a book about them so that readers know who they are.[11]
- When Brandon first dropped the name of the novel in 2016 it was misheard as "Dust Brigade" rather than "Dusk Brigade".[1] It wasn't until 2022 when Brandon talked about changing the in-universe group's name to "Night Brigade" due to another character with the name "Dusk" that the communication error was caught.[2]
