The 17th Shard is the official Brandon Sanderson fansite dedicated to all of the works of fantasy author Brandon Sanderson.
Founded by Josh and Mi'chelle Walker as Hoid's Compendium, the site reopened in the summer of 2010 as the 17th Shard. The name was recommended by Brandon upon his discovery and blessing of the site.
