'''''The Liar of Partinel''''' is an unpublished [[cosmere]] work that [[Brandon Sanderson]] wrote in 2007.{{wob ref|7597}}
The story takes place on the world of [[Yolen]] and features a character called Midius, a [[Yolish Lightweaving|Lightweaver]] who adopts the name of his master, [[Hoid]]. When it was written, this book was intended to serve as a prequel to the story arc of a rewritten [[Dragonsteel Prime]], but would have been published as a standalone book to avoid confusion with the main Dragonsteel sequence.{{wob ref|6096}}
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."{{wob ref|7609}} 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.{{wob ref|6701}} He still intends to write this story some day, probably after the [[Stormlight Archive]] is finished, though he will rewrite it from scratch.{{wob ref|9165}}{{wob ref|12510}} The Ars Arcanum of [[Words of Radiance]] claims that Roshar's Lightweaving is the most similar to the "original Yolish variant," suggesting that this portion of the magic will stay canon.
