The Liar of Partinel is an unpublished cosmere work that Brandon Sanderson wrote in 2007.[1]
It is set on the world of Yolen and features a character called Midius who takes on the name of his master, Hoid. The original plan was for it to be part of Dragonsteel, but published as if a standalone book to avoid confusion with the main Dragonsteel sequence.[2]
It was Sanderson's first attempt at writing Hoid's origin story, which he wanted to be "epic and awesome," but it just wasn't working and "every chapter was a chore to write."[3] He does not distribute this book because the personality of one character "never clicked," and he does not want it to color fans' predispositions towards that character.[4] He still intends to write this story some day, probably after the Stormlight Archive is finished, though he will rewrite it from scratch.[5][6]
The main character performs Lightweaving, a common form of investiture in the Cosmere. The Ars Arcanum of Words of Radiance claims that Roshar's Lightweaving is the most similar to this "original Yolish variant."
