'''''The Night Brigade''''' is a tentative title for a [[cosmere]] novel set on [[Threnody]].{{wob ref|12720}}{{wob ref|15573}} The novel is considered one that Brandon will "maybe" write someday, although he does consider it integral to the overall [[cosmere]] sequence.{{wob ref|13285}} The novel is planned to take place in the [[Homeland]].{{wob ref|13065}}

== 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.{{wob ref|12720}} 

The [[Deepest One]]s will be "involved a great deal."{{wob ref|11828}}

== Characters ==
The story will be about brand new characters, and will most likely not include [[Silence Montane]], except possibly as a minor cameo.{{wob ref|8755}}

== Setting ==
The story takes place on Threnody, likely on the Homeland, the former home of the [[Forescout]]s that was lost to the Evil.{{wob ref|13065}} It will be the closest Brandon has ever gotten to writing in the grimdark genre.{{wob ref|11224}}

== 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.{{wob ref|9145}} 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.{{wob ref|5732}} He has not yet fully completed an outline for the book.{{wob ref|13454}}

== 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.{{wob ref|12635}}
* When Brandon first dropped the potential name of the novel in 2016 he called it "Dusk Brigade", but it was misheard as "Dust Brigade".{{wob ref|12720}} The name "Dust Brigade" was then used in the fandom for years. It wasn't until 2022 when Brandon talked about changing the in-universe group's name to "Night Brigade" (due to the similarity with the character named [[Sixth of the Dusk (character)|Sixth of the Dusk]]) that the communication error was caught.{{wob ref|15573}}
