Brandon Sanderson, the popular author of the Mistborn series, recently shared an update on the writing process for his upcoming book, "Ghostbloods," which is part of the third era of the Mistborn saga. While he is currently tied up with several projects, including a screenplay for Apple TV and board games, he plans to turn his attention back to the book in July 2026.
About Ghostbloods
Ghostbloods will be the first book in the third era of the Mistborn saga. This trilogy is unique because it will be set in the early computer age, with 1980s-style technology. Exact details about the story and characters have not yet been revealed.
Writing schedule and deadline
Sanderson has confirmed that "Ghostbloods" is still on track for a December 2028 release. However, he has to turn in the manuscript by December 2026, which means he still has about seven months to finish the book. In his latest update, he said he has already completed a first draft of the manuscript, and the coming months will be focused on revising that version.
Current projects
In addition to his work on "Ghostbloods," Sanderson is also working on a screenplay for a Mistborn adaptation at Apple TV. He is also involved in board games and hosts a weekly podcast where he gives updates to his audience. His involvement in Hollywood has, however, led to delays in his book projects, although he has assured fans that this will not affect Ghostbloods' release date.
