The '''cosmere''' is a fictional shared universe where several of [[Brandon Sanderson]]'s books take place. As a result, books set in the cosmere share a single cosmology and underlying rules of magic, and some characters from one world will make appearances on other worlds. Despite the connections, Brandon has remained clear that one does not need any knowledge of the broader cosmere to read, understand, or enjoy books that take place in the cosmere.{{url ref|name=WhatIsCosmere|url=https://brandonsanderson.com/what-is-the-cosmere|text=What Is The Cosmere?|site=[[Brandon]]'s website}}
 
Elements of the cosmere are slowly being added to the books, and will eventually come to the forefront in the ''[[Dragonsteel]]'' series and the [[Mistborn Era 4|final ''Mistborn'' trilogy]].{{wob ref|6868}}
 
Current series in the cosmere are the [[Elantris trilogy|''Elantris'' trilogy]], [[Mistborn (series)|''Mistborn'' series]], ''[[Warbreaker]]'' (and [[Nightblood (book)|its eventual sequel]]), ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]'', and ''[[White Sand (series)|White Sand]]''. It does not include any books that reference [[Earth]], as Earth is not in the cosmere.{{ref|name=WhatIsCosmere}} For a complete list of books in the cosmere, see [[#Bibliography of the Cosmere|the bibliography section below]].
