; ''[[Aether of Night]]''
: A rewrite of Brandon's tenth novel, as various elements of the original were cannibalized for other works (such as Decay becoming Ruin). No longer is trunked.{{sots ref|2015}} Brandon has said this will be drastically different from the unpublished novel and will only retain the location in the cosmere and the magic system.{{sots ref|2017}} Brandon is still unsure when he will fit this story into the overall cosmere timeline, but it is planned to be three novels.{{sots ref|2019}}

===Cosmere Works===
; Cosmere world guide: A potential illustrated companion for the cosmere novels. It would not happen before ''Stormlight 5''.

; Additional Cosmere stories by [[Isaac Stewart]]▼
:; 1940's ''Mistborn''
