My Collaboration with Brandon Sanderson, Songs of the Dead - Coming 6/16/26

A few years in the making, my collaboration with #1 New York Times Bestselling writer Brandon Sanderson finally has a release date--June 16, 2026.


We sold the first trilogy, entitled The Strata Wars, to Simon & Schuster/Saga, and couldn't be happier, having landed with some amazing folks who really believe in this story. What's more, we have offers from some foreign publishers that I'll be able to announce soon.


Here's the summary for book one, entitled Songs of the Dead:


When Jack Solomon, a struggling musician who works in London’s West End, is killed, he awakens to a new reality in which light and music are used to create magic and where living eras of the past sprawl beneath modern London, layer upon layer, all the way back to recorded history.


Jack also soon discovers that many of those who reside in the stratums of London’s past have grown angry with the present world, and that their anger is being channeled by a powerful society of light-and-music-based magic wielders who can cross the realms between life and death, between the present and the past. A past where the dead are sowing revolution against the living, and all of history is at stake.

It is brilliant to finally see a confirmed release date for Songs of the Dead after hearing whispers about this collaboration for so long. The core premise especially historical eras of London layered directly beneath the modern city sounds incredibly evocative and classic Sanderson worldbuilding, but with Peter's distinct musical touch. Balancing a heavy reading stack alongside my ongoing workload feels a bit like managing a Fast Assignment Help Australia request during midterms, but I'll definitely be clearing space on my shelf for June 2026. I am really curious to see how the light-and-music magic system translates on the page. Massive congratulations on securing the trilogy deal with Saga!

The concept behind Songs of the Dead is fascinating, especially the way music and light become part of a magical world layered beneath modern London. The idea of history, the living, and the dead colliding through this unique form of magic makes the project sound incredibly immersive. Collaborations that bring together storytelling and music can create such a rich experience for audiences. For students trying to stay on top of their own busy schedules while exploring creative work like this, finding support can make a difference—sometimes even choosing to Take my class online can provide the flexibility needed to balance studies with other interests.

This sounds like an incredibly creative collaboration, especially with the unique blend of music, fantasy, and history in Songs of the Dead. With foreign publishers already showing interest, thoughtful Localisation Services could help preserve the story’s atmosphere and appeal for readers across different cultures. Excited to see how this trilogy develops!

https://hitclubvn.vc/ mình lướt thử vì thấy mọi người nhắc nhiều, chủ yếu tò mò xem trang làm ăn ra sao thôi. Vào cái là thấy bố cục khá thoáng, không bị rối mắt, mấy khối nội dung đặt ngay đầu nên đọc nhanh cũng hiểu họ muốn nhắc gì. Mình thích nhất đoạn họ nhấn mạnh chuyện kiểm tra đúng link trước khi đăng nhập, kiểu nhắc nhìn kỹ tên miền với cái khóa HTTPS cho chắc, đọc vậy thấy cũng yên tâm hơn. Mình không đăng ký hay tải gì, chỉ bấm qua vài mục xem cách điều hướng, cảm giác menu dễ tìm, không phải mò lâu. Trên đầu trang còn có chỗ hiển thị thời điểm kiểm…
