This page or section contains details from the unpublished work The Liar of Partinel!
This information has the potential to ruin plot elements of both published works and upcoming book releases for the reader. It should also be considered uncanonical and could completely change in the future.

The Liar of Partinel is an unpublished cosmere work by Brandon Sanderson.[1]

It is set on the world of Yolen and features a character called Midius who takes on the name of 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 (beginning with Dragonsteel Prime).[2]

While Sanderson has stated multiple times that he will rewrite and publish Hoid's origin story at some point, his first attempt did not feel right, and "every chapter was a chore to write."[3] He does not distribute this book because the personality of the main character "never clicked," and he does not want it to color fans' predispositions towards that character.[4]

Brandon has released a released the first 6 chapters of the Liar of Partinel on his website [here|http://brandonsanderson.com/drafts/warbreaker/LiarPt12.doc]. However, he plans on rewriting it.
