Book Description:

A magical collection of ten short stories by an amazing list of contributors—all of whom will be in attendance at Brandon Sanderson's Dragonsteel Nexus 2025!

In 2013, Grim Oak Press published Unfettered: The Phoenix Comicon Exclusive, an edition of the award-winning anthology that only featured short stories by authors who were attending that convention. It resulted in an anthology that people could buy and get multi-signed by Terry Brooks, Kevin Hearne, Peter Orullian, Brandon Sanderson, and Shawn Speakman. It is now regarded by collectors as one of the most difficult Grim Oak Press books to find.

Since launching the first volume at Dragonsteel Nexus 2024, Grim Oak Press has published two more Grimoire anthologies, each one selling out almost immediately and being praised by readers and contributors alike. The experience of a reader searching for the writers to get signatures is a fun one; the experience of the author talking to more potential readers is always rewarding. Grimoire helps bridge the two together, a magic that is all-too real.

Here is the line-up of contributing authors for this new Grimoire:

• The Deal Is Struck* by J. A. Andrews
• Zack Argyle
• Ryan Cahill
• Matt Dinniman
• Children of Ash by Michael Michel
• The Broken Hallelujah by Peter Orullian
• Unity by Christopher Paolini
• A Knightess of Van by Christopher Ruocchio
• A Kiss Between Water and Wood by Shawn Speakman
• The Loudest, Smallest Dragon Son by Julia Vee & Ken Bebelle

Ken Bebelle will not be at Dragonsteel Nexus 2025 but Julia Vee will be.

The * denotes stories previously published but not in print elsewhere.

For those of you attending the convention, you'll be able to buy this Grimoire and have it multi-signed by ten writers as well as cover artist Howard Lyon. In that way, it will become a beautiful memory of meeting these fine individuals as well as assembling a multi-signed keepsake.

EBOOK

The ebook for Grimoire: Dragonsteel Nexus 2025 will be donated to Brandon and Emily Sanderson's charity, Lightweaver Foundation, where you will be able to buy and download it on December 4, 2025. More details coming soon.
