Synopsis "The Dark Talent: Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians: 5 "

Now in paperback for the first time, featuring all new covers, the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians middle-grade series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson. Sneaking into the evil Librarian cult HQ! So there I, Alcatraz Smedry, was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed--wait, you've heard that before? Oh yeah, I wrote it at the beginning of my first book. Well, this is the one where that actually happens, I promise! I managed to beat the evil Librarians attacking Mokia (it's not on the maps the Librarians let you see, so don't try to find it), but Bastille was hit by some kind of knockout ray and is in a coma. The antidote is locked away in the heart of evil Librarian power--the Library of Congress. I already infiltrated one library, so a bigger one shouldn't be that hard, right? (Help!) My father has this crazy idea about giving everyone in the world the Smedry Talents, and he's convinced that ancient books in the Library of Congress hold the secret. But the Talents already destroyed one entire civilization, so he has to be stopped--even if I did accidentally break all the Talents during the battle. (Oops.) And now there's a rumor that the original evil Librarian, Biblioden, has been spotted, but that can't be true--he founded his dark cult centuries ago. There's no way he could be back! The Dark Talent is the fifth book in this action-packed fantasy series for young readers.

Brandon Sanderson (Lincoln, Nebraska, December 19, 1975) is an American writer of fantasy and science fiction literature. He is best known for the fictional universe of Cosmere, in which most of his fantasy novels are set, including the series Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive. Outside of Cosmere, he has written several series for young adults and children, such as The Reckoners, the Skyward series, and the Alcatraz series. He is also known for completing Robert Jordan's high fantasy series The Wheel of Time. Sanderson has created several fantasy graphic novels, such as White Sand and Dark One.

He created Sanderson's Laws of Magic and popularized the idea of "hard magic" and "soft magic" systems. In 2008, Sanderson started a podcast with writer Dan Wells and cartoonist Howard Tayler called Writing Excuses, which discusses topics on genre writing and webcomics. In 2016, the American media company DMG Entertainment acquired the rights to all of Sanderson's Cosmere universe, but since then the rights have reverted back to Sanderson. Sanderson's Kickstarter campaign in March 2022 became the most successful in history, with 185,341 backers pledging 41,754,153 dollars.

Born in Nebraska, he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) and currently resides in Provo (Utah), with his wife Emily whom he married on July 7, 2006. He earned a master's degree in Creative Writing in 2005 at Brigham Young University, where he was roommates with Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings. He has been nominated twice for the John W. Campbell Award.
