Though the story isn’t about him, he has a role to play in it, and readers will find out why he’s there through the course of the book. He takes a few liberties in the narrative, but mostly, this is canon. Meaning, Tress is a real person from the cosmere, and her world is an actual place: neither are Hoid inventions. In this case (unlike some of his stories) he’s chronicling actual events in the cosmere. That said, this isn’t written to the reader, but is instead meant to be him telling the story to someone in the cosmere listening. Readers might be able to pick up some of the context of who he’s talking to, but it’s not meant to be explicitly obvious. He’s telling the story in-world to someone. Tress of the Emerald Sea is a novel-length story written in Hoid/Wit’s voice – not unlike The Dog And The Dragon or Derethil and the Wandersail – except 100,000 words long.
Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?
But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Mega-best-selling Sanderson raised millions (literally, millions!) on Kickstarter for four standalone fantasy novels this is the first, so expect devoted fans and curious new readers to be drawn in.English | Janu| ASIN: N/A | kbps | 12h 27m | 341.96 MB Sanderson’s storytelling rhythm makes this a fun excursion into an ancillary world of the Cosmere, where a world building whim-in this case, seas made of spores rather than water-grows into a fullfledged adventure. She soon finds friends among the pirate crew, and navigates an educational and dangerous journey. She cooks up a plan to leave the island, which goes well until she discovers she’s managed to smuggle herself onto a smuggler’s ship, which is promptly destroyed by pirates, though not before Tress befriends a talking rat named Huck. Tress finds that Charlie has been taken for ransom and abandoned by his father. The cups stop coming the lord arrives home with an heir who is not his son.
Charlie promises he won’t marry anyone else, and that he’ll send her a cup at every stop. The lord sees their friendship and announces that the family will be leaving the island to find a wife for his heir. Tress is a pragmatic girl who lives on an island in a green sea, works as a cleaner, collects cups, and has a good friend in the local lord’s son.
